Happy Halloween! Here’s a festive quilt for you to stitch. We’ve made ours with the CGRDBSKL CREATIVE GRIDS 45 DEGREE KALEIDOSCOPE DOUBLE STRIP QUILTING RULER if you don’t have this ruler you can use a similar 45° angled ruler (or template plastic to make a template to cut your triangle segments).
Here’s our quilt hanging in the shop for October. We used BELLA SOLIDS to make our quilt Two colors 9900 79 Ochre and 9900 60 Ivory. Scroll down for our mini-pictorial tutorial.
Creative Grids KALEIDOSCOPE RULER
Need more details on cutting your shapes and block construction?
Watch Rachel Cross demonstrate the Kaleidoscope block and ruler in her video .
What you need:
· Creative Grids Double Strip Kaleidoscope Ruler (CGRDBSKL) OR Creative Grids 45° Kaleidoscope & Dresden Plate Ruler (CGRTKAL45) or similar 45° angled ruler (or template plastic to make a template to cut your triangle segments)
· 2 ½ yards background (cream)
· 2 yards for blocks and binding (orange)
· 3 yards of backing fabric
Cut 2 1/2” strips from your fabric and sew into strip sets.
Use your Kaleidoscope ruler or template to cut triangle segments from your strip sets.
Alternate your triangle segments and sew together.
Create your corner triangles by cutting 3 1/4” squares on the diagonal.
Change the placement of your corner triangles to make the two different block styles you will need to create the kaleidoscope pattern in the featured quilt.
