Kaleidoscope Quilt

Or Stack n Whack, One Block Wonder. I've seen a few names for this sort of quilt. You start with a loud patterned fabric  with repeats every 23 inches or so.

You make cuts of the fabric, stack up the sections, and cut out 8  identical triangles.



Then you sew  the triangles together and watch all the different patterns pop out like magic:

Yo-Yo maker

being the complete sucker for gadgets that I am, I could not resist picking up a few of these little darlings...Yo yo makers..Not just round ones, like my great grandmothers made, but cute little heart and flower ones, and in two sizes:

I started putting them together And I think it might be a cute little wallhanging
or maybe a little dolly quilt:
