Quilt Construction

Read instructions before beginning a project. All instructions include a ¼" seam allowance. 22" measurement is approximate. WOF–width of fabric.

Quilter Basics

1 Kaleidoscope Triangles (KT): Align the 8" Block guideline on the ruler with the bottom of the 4½"x 22" assorted print strip. Cut 8 triangles from one strip. Repeat to cut a total of 336 Kaleidoscope Triangles from the 42 strips.

2 Background Kaleidoscope Triangles (BKT): These triangles will be oversized. We will trim them when assembling the block. Align the 12" Block guideline on the ruler with the bottom of the 6½"x 22" Background strip. Cut 5 triangles from one strip. Repeat to cut a total of 112 Background Kaleidoscope Triangles from the 23 strips.

Accurate cutting and sewing is very important. Hint: Use "Best Press" or spray starch at each step for fabric that acts more like "cardboard or paper" than fabric. The Michell Marketing Kaleidoscope 60 Degree Ruler has excellent instructions for using the ruler. Please refer to the instructions as a supplement to the steps shown in this pattern.

There are 2 Main Blocks in the quilt top. Let's cut all the kaleidoscope and half square triangles that will be used in both of the blocks first then assemble the blocks.

3 Background Half Square Triangles (HST): (A) Fold the width of the fabric in half. Align the 8" Block guideline on the ruler with the straightened edge of the Background fabric.

(B) Align the 8" Block guideline on the ruler with the straightened edge of the Background strip. Cut 12 squares from one width of the fabric strip. Cut the squares in half on the diagonal. Repeat to cut a total of 112 Background Half Square Triangles from the 5 strips.

4 Block A: (A) Join 1 assorted print Kaleidoscope Triangle and 1 Background Half Square Triangle. Add 1 assorted print Kaleidoscope Triangle to the pair. Make 4 units. (B) Combine the units to make 1 block. Press the seams open. Repeat to make 28–Block A, 8½"x 8½" with seams.

Mitered Border

11 Sew the 7–2½"x WOF Binding strips together. Layer, quilt and bind. ENJOY!

9 Repeat these steps for all four corners to make the miter: –Fold the quilt in half diagonally so that the right sides are together. –Pin match the seams so that they are aligned together. –Use the 45° angle line, marked on your ruler, to pencil a 45° stitching line from the corner of the quilt to the raw edge of the border. –Stitch on the pencil line. Do not stitch beyond the seam allowance into the quilt body.

10 Lay quilt corner out flat, right sides up. Line up the 45° angle line on a ruler as well as the other lines over the mitered seam to be sure the corner is square. Trim excess fabric and press seam open.

6 Assemble the quilt top: Sew 4–Block B and 3–Block A together to make Row A. Make 4–Row A. Sew 4–Block A and 3–Block B together to make Row B. Make 4–Row B. Combine the rows. The quilt top is 56½"x 64½ with seams.

7 Sew the borders strips together. Make 2 strip sets that are 78" long for the top and bottom of the quilt. Make 2 strip sets that are 86" long for the sides of the quilt.
