Two quilts “ Four block quilt, 37½" x 37½" and nine block quilt, 49" x 49".
Op-Art Kaleidoscope quilt blocks are made without the use of templates or specialized rulers. This easy cutting and piecing technique utilizes 17� squares (perfect for fat quarters). The finished size of the blocks is 14�. Full instructions are enclosed for cutting the kite-shaped and wedge-shaped pieces using a 6� x 24� quilting ruler, a grided cutting mat and rotary cutter. Large Kaleidoscope blocks are constructed and then cut into nine pieces. The pieces are shuffled to create the new Op-Art Kaleidoscope blocks. These blocks are simple to piece, and when completed are trimmed to exactly 14½� square, making the quilt top assembly fast and precise.
This pattern also includes tips for designing your own Op-Art Kaleidoscope quilt with as many blocks as you like.
