532 After making his first kaleidoscope quilt many years ago, Ricky decided there had to be an easier way to create this beautiful, difficult looking quilt. In this dynamic 1 1/2 hour lecture/demonstration, he will show you the way to creating an individualistic kaleidoscope quilt using prepared strata, as featured in his recent Kool Kaleidoscope DVD and upcoming book, Kaleidoscope, due out this fall.
