Kaleidoscope

I was looking on the internet for a new design, something inspiring.  I found this basic kaleidoscope, made from 2 contrasting fabrics (and a third for the sashing and backing).  It requires the making of 48 basic pinwheel blocks. 

Making the quilt wasn't so easy and if you look too closely at mine you can see that not all of my corners match up perfectly!  But it certainly was fun trying out something new.

I cut 5 1/2" squares, and the final kaleidoscope "element" turned out to be 28 X 36". 

Here is my quilt!!  With a 3" sashing all around, the quilt measures 34 X 42".
