I learned so much from this beautiful book November 10, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I have been a fan of Paula's kaleidoscope quilts for almost as long as I have been quilting (over 25 years). This book is FANTASTIC! The first section shows her progression of her quilts and she also adds information about what she learned, her inspiration, ideas she used in the quilt, or life stories at the time.
One of my favorite portions of the book is the 2nd section which describes her design strategies. I am amazed at how she uses fabric. This information is useful beyond kaleidoscope quilts.
The 3rd section gives the technical details of how to make this style of quilt. The illustrations are excellent and I completely understand her techniques.
Paula is a genius of kaleidoscopes and I will continue to be a fan.

Oh, my.
Her quilts are amazing. Enjoy!
And furthermore I learned why a very simple 2-color quilt that I made recently doesn't really work. She explains that you can blend fabrics in one of her quilts in two ways. One of which is to borrow colors from the next fabric you're using.
This may sound a bit odd, but I hit my forehead with my fist and said, THAT'S WHY!
People had already told me they thought I had just used one fabric and wondered why I was showing it off as a quilt top if it was just one piece of fabric.
So Nadelstern's kaleidoscope quilts look as though they were designed and made with one material--they're not, and she's good about showing you the fabrics she's used.
And very much to my taste, they don't all look like they were designed and created on the computer. She starts the design as if it were shot through a kaleidoscope and then moves the center. That kind of thing.
And there's some kaleidoscope information here too.
