PVQA.org November 2015 BOM- Modern Kaleidoscope                                       11.5”  Unfinished Sorry it has taken so long to get these instructions posted but since the block is not due until our Jan. general meeting you will have plenty of time to complete it! At first glance you might think this block is going to be tricky?!  Besides the bias edges there's really nothing tricky, all the seams are straight and if you let the feeddogs do their job, the bias edges should be OK!

But after 20 years of quilt making in my sewing room And because I'm getting a new long arm machine, Yeah!  But the frame is a foot wider than my old one,Yikes! that's 12 square feet of space in my sewing room,   I decided it was time for a major purge!!! So what does that mean... -Out went the polybatting that I will never use! -Out went almost half of my old garment fabrics! -Out went a whole bunch of random scrap bags full of project ideas that even after incubatting for   Oh, I don't know, maybe 15 years have not passed the idea stage... -Out went all of the large chunks of fleece leftovers.   I thought I would someday piece them together ...
