You don’t need to follow these directions. There are wonderful projects there, I hope you go and have a look.If you want to know how I made the project… I have linked this finish up to Megan at Canoe Ridge Creations' Modern Monday. I hope you enjoy your day, it is bright and sunny here and I plan to do a little sewing among the errands. My exercise buddy will be pleased, I hope. I went to exercise yesterday and am planning to go tomorrow - I have to be serious about it now, I am going to be walking about London for just over a week this spring, and I need to get in shape (and lose a million pounds too, but it all sounds so negative when you think of it that way). So, this is now my second finish for Rhonda at Quilter in the Gap's Finish-a-long. Unfortunately, I did not finish with my group. The QAL was very fun and many beautiful quilts can be viewed on flickr here.

I started this quilt about a year ago (edited to add, it was actually the beginning of June, so not a full year), as part of Elizabeth from Don't Call Me Betsy's Kaleidoscope QAL. This quilt is 60" x 72" and made of various cotton prints that I had bits and pieces of in my cupboard - I think it even qualifies as scrappy. One last view, I love to look long enough to see the small and then larger and larger circles that form in spite of the fact that every piece is cut straight. You will see that I forgot to flip the elephants in that top square like I flipped the waterlily print, oh well. These are two prints by Tina Givens from her line called Pernilla's Journey. These pictures are all after washing, the quilt behaves nicely with just the outlining of the points and not the squares. I decided against either aqua or chartreuse because the binding in those colours allowed the matching colour to dominate the quilt and less circles would form as you looked at it. I carefully thought about each commenter's ideas and logic (both here and on flickr).

I pinned on each of the three binding choices, and I looked at them for a while. In the end I chose the grey for the binding. Thank you everyone for taking the time to share your ideas and thoughts on the best binding and quilting for this quilt ( you can read my request for help here). I am sending it to my nephew next week for his birthday and just because I like him - he is away from home at University and I thought it might be nice to have a cuddly blanket for late night studying. Finally I have a chance to show off Kaleidoscope (that is what I named the kaleidoscope quilt, not that original I know).
