About the Author
Maxine Rosenthal started quilting about fifteen years ago. She used to make clothing, but never anything as large or as time-consuming as a quilt. Maxine did many things before quilting. She had a career writing computer software, and even took a break from that to learn furniture refinishing, which she considered a walk through history. She was commissioned to make a quilt for the movie Grumpier Old Men, and still has a copy of the check from Warner Bros. But, like many, her appearance ended up on the cutting-room floor. Maxine started making kaleidoscope blocks with hexagons and octagons almost as soon as she began quilting. Maxine resides in Minnesota.
Reflection
TIP: When shopping for fabric, bring two mirrors. Arrange the mirrors in a V shape, and move them around on the fabric to get an idea of the kaleidoscopes it will form.
Alignment Tip
Remember, as you cut a strip that has been pinned, add a pin to the main body of the fabric to maintain the alignment. Pinning this way will hold the uncut piece intact. I have stored pinned fabric for years, and the alignment of the stack remains perfect.
