Instructor: Pat Welsth
Cost: $50 + Book

The success of this project is in the selection of the fabric. Choose a fabric that features bright colors you love, lots of them and you will be happy with the end result. Select a fabric with a minimal amount of background. A large scale print with movement and interesting design produces the most interesting kaleidoscopes. The repeat of the design element in your chosen fabric determines the amount of fabric needed and the size of the project. The longer the repeat, the more hexagons, this gives this gives more variety in the blocks.
