Once I got started with the before and after shots, I couldn’t stop. And for today’s group I found the before shots of them all.

One thing this has proven to me is that we need to figure out one spot to take pictures and use that spot only. The difference in lighting is also making a difference in these before and after shots.
I still can’t get over the fact these stars all came from one fabric. There’s no way I would have even attempted them were it not for the No Waste Fussy Cutting/Printing Inklingo technique. That makes it so easy to make these that it leads me off into thinking what else I can use for kaleidoscope somethings. And I think some kaleidoscope miniature Lucy Boston Patchwork of the Crosses blocks are in my future. But I am not – I’ll try not to start that before I get the butterfly kaleidoscope stars top together.

Baxter and Jake were both making sure they were near the toy basket.

The seam makes so much of a difference, and seems to make the stars POP even more. Lovely choice of fabric, and each one so different, and all the same material to begin with. Cheers,Jean

Wow, what a difference a seam makes! Such a great pic of the boys today at the spa, their relative sizes really show up – it would be interesting to see them both standing together, too.

I bet you are just in 7th heaven while you are stitching these stars. I can just see you grinning from ear to ear as you finish each one. They are so yummy. I need to join the kittens in the spa and take some of the stress out of my life. Thanks Cathi and Mr. QO for providing a moment to rest and enjoy your abilities.

Cathi, your stars are wonderful! Is the back of your fabric dark? It looks like one of those fabrics that might be. Are you able to see the print on it?
I love the toy basket. I try to keep all the toys for my pups organized in a basket for them, but by the days end they are scattered all over the house and yard. Picking up toys before bed, returning them to their toy basket, is an evening retual.
