What is that phrase... 'Ask and ye shall receive.'
Well I had this very old UFO - my very big Kaleidescope Quilt (to read the sad tale about this and my other UFOMs CLICK HERE)
I 're-discovered' this project but my work came to a complete stop because I had lost a very critical piece of equipment! I asked for help finding this 45 degree angle ruler, which was not to be found anywhere around me.
Cheryl came to my rescue! She saw the very ruler that I needed, at a Ben Franklin several states away. I looked at all the Ben Franklin's in my area, but they didn't have any! But fortunately, the Ben Franklin Cheryl referred me to was willing to send me the ruler!
Yahoo! This King Size Kaleidescope Quilt is back on the Active list!
A big thank you to Cheryl! Check out her blog at Cheryl's Chatelaine

UFOM #6 - The Really Big Kaleidescope Quilt
My last and final Miracle UFO! This was going to be a King Size Kaleidescope quilt. All done in purple. In retrospect, I find the color selection a bit dark. It's kind of funny how our tastes change over the years.
Everything was included here. All my notes, lots of fabric, Several finished squares, many more almost finished squares -- and even a marking pen.
Everything but the required ruler! The really irritating thing about that is that I remember seeing that ruler when we were moving. I remember thinking that it was out of place and ought to be with all my other sewing supplies. Then I got distracted, I didn't go investigate what the movers were doing. To this day I wonder if I would have stopped right then, would I have been able to salvage all my sewing supplies? All that fabric? All that work?
Now that ruler is gone, and so is everything else. Well, almost everything. Everything except my 6 little miracles!
Here I've placed the finished squares together on the floor (my design wall is already covered with my "real" work -- ha ha) I think it will look nice when it's all done. If I can find a ruler replacement, I might even make it a King size! Probably not though. We'll see!
