Busy Days

I have that picture of the Indigo and Lace Quilt that I promised:  Here it is:
Indigo and Lace, 98" x 98"
It will be fun quilting this one, once I get the sandwich made!!  There are big open spaces that will be fun to fill.  I can try some feathers maybe, which I haven't done yet.  Also, those curved triangles in the Medallion sections will be fun too.  I'll need a steady hand to sew just at the edges so they'll looked pieced.  Can't wait to get started on this!

I have been busy filling these cold frigid winter days with this project shown below.  It is a kaleidoscope quilt.  All 32 kaleidoscopes are built now, and I am starting to fill in middle sections with a light aqua color fabric.  The border will be a darker turquoise, and you can see how "rings" are formed around each of the kaleidoscopes.  There are triangles added on 4 sides of the octagons, forming a kind of star.  The triangles points are all the same per star, and I have to admit, finding parts of the fabric that didn't match the octagon, but still "blended" was a mite tricky.  So there are a couple sets of stars that have similar points.  I doubt too many people will notice.  It's kind of fun to try and find them, actually.  Can you?
