I bought this book by Eleanor Burns and the ruler years ago, when we were still in the sampler cross-stitch club in de Rijp. Today I finally started the Kaleidoscope quilt of Dutch fabrics I want to make for my dad.

Last week I coloured the quilt plan to have an idea of how many blocks I will have to make.

Yesterday I set up this cutting station. I works wonderfully well. I will have to change the bedsheets for my little niece when she has to sleep in her bed. I'm afraid the bed is filled with fabric threads.

I used M.'s great 6x24 inch ruler to cut 5"strips. I know now what I want for my birthday!

Strips, strips and more strips.... The 5" ones are for the triangles, the 4"ones are for the corner blocks.

By using the kaleidoscope triangle ruler I cut each strip into 8 triangles.

There are three stacks of triangles to be cut: dark, medium and light blues. I've finished the light ones

And this is what the floor looks like after a few hours of cutting... G.
