The end of year rush into summer holidays and the festive season has eased up, so some sewing has been done! Yeah! Have tried to work on 2 or 3 different projects each day, but progress is steady but slow. One flimsy done this week (which doesn't yet count as a finish) - the kaleidoscope started in August in Bettie's class. This quilt top is made from one fabric.

Daughter T quilting (and playing iPad game at same time) on small quilt she put together last week. Not an original, but worked from one of the patterns in this free
eBook on Log Cabins. Oh boy, can she sew accurately! She made the setting triangles a little bigger, so the centre floats a bit. It's about 21" square. We tacked it on the frame first.
And today Bonnie released part 7 for the Easy Street mystery quilt - and I have completed it - as next (and I think final) part is out tomorrow! What a wonderful relaxed mystery this has been. After carefully selected each piece for each triangle so not to have duplicate fabrics in each section, I managed to reverse the order of one pile in the piecing, too bad that now there are two the same near each other, as there they will remain. I guess these are probably the edge pieces of an on-point design, but still cannot work out what the centre will look like!

What a beautiful top! I want to make a Kaleidoscope quilt one day. I know you took a class, did you have to buy a certain book to work from that you can recommend? I'm about to work on my Easy Street today, I've kept up so far as well, so maybe it will get done this week!
