Good job showing us how to tackle something a bit harder than our usual squares, rectangles, triangles, etc. Beautiful quilt and gorgeous fabric. Thank you for all your hard work and expertise.
Thanks Courtenay! I made a stack and wack similar many years ago and had a blast seeing each block revealed, but never thought of using a border fabric and the effect it would add. I love the way it frames them. Well done!
The add a second ruler is great , I can not get around my cutting table without pulling out the table. At 82 years old I don't have as much strength as I used to. Thanks.
What a surprise! I just received in the mail yesterday, a kit, from another place that had kits of this quilt. I confess, I will be nervous about cutting that lovely border! I'm so glad you have a tutorial for when I get up the courage to do this! I won't learn to do these "stack 'n whack" blocks unless I try to do it! It really does help to actually SEE someone do it! Thank you!
I found the tutorial very interesting and I liked Courtenay’s friendly manner. At the beginning of the layout I was confused but watching the whole thing made clear what was happening. It is a beautiful quilt!
This is quite a different offering from MSQC and I loved it. Good to see the demo and know that if you get through the tricky cutting it's all just straight sewing. Lots of tips and that helps.
I purchased this fabric as a kit. It is gorgeous! I wanted to watch your video before cutting. THANK YOU SO MUCH for your clear instructions and tips. I truly appreciate it. Well done!
Oh what an awesome tutorial Courtenay, you did a great job, I never thought of using boarder fabrics for this, gonna look at them totally different now, Love a one block wonder, stack n whack quilt they are just fun to see what you will get, no wonder you are at the retreat center, you are a great teacher, Thanks again
This was so well done! Your enthusiasm is contagious. Gorgeous quilt. I’ve always been too intimidated to make kaleidoscope blocks...but you went thru this really clearly. Thank you! 🌻🌻🌻
Courtney is an awesome teacher! Many new kaleidoscope tips; and fun sense of humor! Understandably, 'narrating' and answering questions that only one out of the thousands of us listening may have, is the "film-art-fad-of-the-month;" however, it is extremely distracting from the actual topic: a tutorial to teach us this process. Leaving questions in the comment section below, or at the end of the video (as done here) is far less intrusive. Thanks MSQC!
Purchased this quilt kit a few weeks ago, and I'm so happy to find a tutorial on it. Making me feel much more confident in cutting the fabric for the octagons!! Thank you so much!
I just got to watch the video last night. I have had fabric and Jason Yenter’s pattern for about 6 months and the pattern directions turned me off. Now that I have seen your tutorial I am ready to tackle it.Thank you so much for the inspiration!
Thank you for sharing ❤️💗❤️ Sometimes "New" ideas & patterns aren't easy to get the first..... Be kind to others. SENDING A BRIGHT WHITE LIGHT OF LOVE TO SURROUND THE UNIVERSE 🤗💞💖🤗 AND EVERYONE 🤗❣️❣️🤗💞 Be GREATEFUL to learn... Be GREATEFUL for something Be GREATEFUL....
I think Jenny would be very disappointed in some of these comments from her community. This lady did an awsome job and we ALL know Jenny has complete faith in her so why can't some of you be a lot nicer to Jenny's friend and helper? Shame on some of you for your rude comments. I guarantee most of us have been told or have heard IF YOU HAVE NOTHING NICE TO SAY KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT... Its don't say anything at all but I am so saddened by some of these comments Jenny will be reading it hurts my heart for Courtenay and Jenny.
The thing I don't understand is that you'd think most of the people who watch these videos should be ADULTS. I know that for the most part 99% of everyone has been told "IF you don't have anything nice to say....don't say anything." So, it still stands here in the 21st Century.....YES even during a PANDEMIC. IF you don't like what MSQC posts...move on, you don't have to be snarky.....it isn't necessary.
Thank you so much for this video. I have purchased the kit, mirror, and ruler. Just need to get some courage to do the cutting. You're a wonderful teacher.
The only quilt class I have ever taken was a stack-n-whack way back in 1998 or 1999 from Bethany Reynolds herself. I was too slow, but I still remember these techniques and so this feels familiar to me. Maybe one day I will actually make a quilt this way. 😀
Thanks Courtenay! Very well done! First, no, you aren't Jenny, or Misty, or Sarah...and we don't expect you to be darlin" YOU DO YOU! Let's all IGNORE those who choose to be nasty for whatever reason. Most of us all like to see "new" talent...and new ways to do things. This is really great. I'm not sure I would do this, but make....I think it's AWESOME!! Thanks so much Courtenay! This is awesome! Love it!
Another advantage of using 2 rulers is that they slide against each other. So, I'll put the 2.5" along my mark, place the 6"er next to it, and cut. Then slide one up, and then the other and you've moved up 12" or so. It helps.
I will soon have all the pieces I need to make this gorgeous quilt. Now if I can just organize my time. I'm also trying to figure out if I can make the block pieces just slightly larger and get closer to a king size instead of a queen size quilt. I did buy extra of the fabrics.
Great tutorial and beautiful quilt! I have all the fabric to make a kaleidoscope table runner! Purchased the fabric from MSQC! I'm going to get that kit out and make it! Thanks for sharing a new technique!!
Woohoo! Thank you so much for your support, Rebecca. We sincerely appreciate it. Please be sure to share your Kaleidoscope quilt with us on social using #msqcshowandtell! :)
correct me if I'm wrong, if there are 4 stripes on the boarder yardage, wouldn't you be able to make the same quilt with 1/4 of the 8+ yards that the narrator mentioned? beautiful fabric choice! nice tutorial
This was a great video! I like the way Courtney explained everything. And my favorite part was that she was interrupted constantly by Jake’s loud behind the scenes commentary.
Great job! Pay no attention to unkind comments! It is extremely difficult performing live under pressure with an audience. I'm a long-time seamstress & I can do nothing with an audience.
So I cut 5 3/4 yard of the border fabric and the rest will be border? Should I cut it into strips first? Nervous about this cut eek when I get to the tough stuff lol
Good top with the rulers, I see so many people doing weird cuts, makes me nervous, I know what it's like to get cut, cutting the right way, just from my cutter jumping the ruler.
Using the angle of the triangle would have been highly useful. I presume you were using a 45 degree angle to get the octagon. Knowing the angle would have shown the option of using any ruler with angle markings rather than requiring a separate purchase of a specialized ruler.
Beautiful quilt!! It looks like a difficult quilt to make until you break it down into steps. Wonderful job teaching Courtney! Thank you so much.
Good job showing us how to tackle something a bit harder than our usual squares, rectangles, triangles, etc. Beautiful quilt and gorgeous fabric. Thank you for all your hard work and expertise.
Thanks Courtenay! I made a stack and wack similar many years ago and had a blast seeing each block revealed, but never thought of using a border fabric and the effect it would add. I love the way it frames them. Well done!
Thank you!! I was able to find a product I needed for an unrelated quilting project. Thank you so much!!!!! My grandson will so happy.
Courtenay did a great job with a live performance while working with a difficult pattern alignment.
The add a second ruler is great , I can not get around my cutting table without pulling out the table. At 82 years old I don't have as much strength as I used to. Thanks.
Great pattern and tutorial. Love it and the sense of humor. Very awesome. Thank you
Such fun quilt blocks to make...never know how it will look till it is done
What a surprise! I just received in the mail yesterday, a kit, from another place that had kits of this quilt. I confess, I will be nervous about cutting that lovely border!

Great tutorial! That is a beautiful quilt. I think I might try it with smaller blocks. Thank you. Really liked the ruler trick.

I really enjoyed her details and her sense of humor.. Also great camera work
I love her approach. She cracks me up.
I purchased this fabric as a kit. It is gorgeous! I wanted to watch your video before cutting. THANK YOU SO MUCH for your clear instructions and tips. I truly appreciate it. Well done!
A good presentation of a very difficult quilt with a complicated print. Amazing how it works out at the end. 👍
Thank you! A beautiful fabric, and a great pattern, especially these triangles which make squares out of these hexagons.
Oh what an awesome tutorial Courtenay, you did a great job, I never thought of using boarder fabrics for this, gonna look at them totally different now, Love a one block wonder, stack n whack quilt they are just fun to see what you will get, no wonder you are at the retreat center, you are a great teacher, Thanks again

Loved your demo. You made it look so easy.
That is one of the most beautiful quilts I've ever seen! Kind of scary to do the cuts correctly but so worth it!
Thankyou for showing us this quilt, it is just gorgeous but just a bit complicated for me to try! thankyou.
To all the people with the thumbs down please feel free to not watch because 99% do love it. I think it is a wonderful idea THANK-YOU
One day I would like to tackle this! Thanks for the excellent tutorial. Looking forward to seeing you again!
Very well done Courtney, Great tutorial. I am now headed to look at that beautiful fabric.
Thank you !!! Like to see you on here once in a while, always enjoy seeing you & your project!!
Beautiful fabric! Great tips on cutting the triangles. Love it!!! 💕
Love watching Courteney. Fun easy and good teacher. ❤

Love the quilt and the tutorial. It's nice to see something more advanced/complicated than the usual offering from Missouri Star.
Thoroughly enjoyed your video 🥰🥰
What a gorgeous fabric and quilt! Wish the stripe was still available...Thank you for the inspiration!
Thanks Courtenay. A difficult quilt and you did a great job.
Never have done this before.... I may have to watch a few more times! Thanks😊
This is GORGEOUS !!! What a great tutorial !!!!

Thank you. It was a great video. I enjoyed Courtenay very much.
Beautiful quilt! Thanks for a wonderful tutorial.
Beautiful and sew fun! Loved it and thank you.
I am making a different quilt out of this line of fabric. It is so beautiful.
Beautiful fabric for this approach. You've reminded me that I have a UFO kaleidescope quilt -- gotta find those squares and finish it!
Beautiful quilt.
I’m getting ready to do a one block wonder. These are great pointers! Thank you
Simply beautiful!

A trick: you can watch series at instaflixxer. I've been using them for watching loads of movies lately.
@Dax Eric Definitely, have been watching on instaflixxer for months myself :)
JUDYCCONARD southern Illinois. Have learned so much from all the Missouri Star tutorials
Clever idea Courtenay but something for me to aspire to in the future - I enjoyed your tutorial :)
Beautiful quilt! From South Africa.
Thank you so much for this video. I have purchased the kit, mirror, and ruler. Just need to get some courage to do the cutting. You're a wonderful teacher.
Great tutorial! Gave me great ideas for some fabrics I have. Hopefully one day I can take a class with you in person! Stay Well!
I really want to learn this so badly. Exciting. Thank you. I’m Doris Mays from Tennessee

Love you guys
Pretty! I love it! And don’t worry about boring this audience; we’ve come to watch you cut out a quilt, and we know what that will entail. 😄
Nice video, thank you.
Amazing quilt. You are funny.
Very pretty quilt! We have a daughter named Leah and we pronounce it LEE uh, but then, she's a California-born girl. Thanks for filling in!
This is such a stunning quilt!!! Thanks for the fantastic tutorial!

I don’t see a link for the pattern? Thank you for filling in today! (We can be a bit of a tough crowd :/)
Hope all is well with the Misty team!
She's doing a great job too!

Hi from Lafayette Louisiana!
I always miss your live videos by 19 hours or 9 hours I don't know .Can you do a 4 patch posey with this fabric?
You certainly could, Joni! It'd probably be cute!
Hello from Vermont
can I buy the fabric cut into pieces? I am handicapped and it's hard for me to stand for a long time but I would love to try this quilt 😊
What happens if you choose to make smaller blocks; how many do you sew together? Is it still 2?
