Pineapple Kaleidoscopes

I have finished the quilt top of the Indigo and Lace quilt and I will be posting a pic of it very soon.  It's a monster quilt, finishing off at 98 inches.  I'm gonna search out some help to pin it.  (Dianne, when can you come for a visit!?)

In the meantime, I just HAD to start another quilt!  I debated between the pineapple quilt and doing another Harry Potter quilt.  But I don't have enough fabric for the background of the Harry Potter blocks, so Pineapple quilt it is!  I call it "Pineapple" not because of the pattern, but because the fabric is very tropical looking with pineapples. Perfect for a kaleidoscope quilt!  Here's a picture of the original fabric, one repeat:



I found a YouTube video about a kaleidoscope quilt and decided to make one like in the video.  Check it out!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vusz5Rx5tkQ

The kaleidoscopes are made from octagons, not hexagons like the Kaylyn's quilt.  I have 4 kaleidoscopes done already:

 

I love kaleidoscope quilts! They are such fun to make!  All the kaleidoscopes turn out so different.  Hard to believe it all comes from the same piece of fabric!  I want to make a bunch of them before I decide what the "background fabric" will be.  I'm thinking brown or orange.  But there's a lot of aqua in the fabric too.  I'll have to see how much of what color shows up!  Such mystery is exciting!  Stay tuned!
