Grape Jelly, by RitaBlocksom

Hey everyone! This is a reminder that I am accepting submissions of Kool Kaleidoscope quilts for my upcoming book. TQS members can submit their entries via the Show and Tell link. Please remember all submissions must be completely finished before submitting. Also, only quilts utilizing my Kool Kaleidoscope method will be considered. There are other ways to create a kaleidoscopic effect, but that is not what the book is about - so, although your quilt might be awesome, if it is not a Ricky Tims' Kool Kaleidoscope, the publisher will not accept it for the book.

You can see how it is made on Episode 403. We also have the how-to DVD for sale at my own Ricky Tims online store. The publishers and I are particularly looking for creative settings/borders, etc. The deadline for submission is August 15. This strip-pieced quilt generally take 2-5 days to make so you have plenty of time. It's practically the ultimate mystery quilt because you can't plan it - it just happens!

If you have made a Kool Kaleidoscope, post your comments about the process in order to encourage others who might be considering making one.
