Sorry for the blurry pic. This fabric was made up of lines of different fishy patterns. Striped fabrics can be really fun with this technique because it highlights the hexagon shapes. You have to cut 6 60 degree triangles all EXACTLY the same. It is not a particularly thrifty technique as there tends to be more wasted fabric, but it is a fun way to get wide range of visual interest out of one fabric. I have a template for the 60 degree triangles if you want to borrow it. :) (I put loops on the long and short sides so it can be hung either way because it is such a strange shape.)
The Cursed Quilt Group actually meets in person, but we would love to have you quilt along in our online community. Please keep it friendly and supportive...many of us are beginners.
Currently in Seoul Korea but expecting to travel the world, the Cursed Quilt Group is home to a wide range of skills, personal tastes and experience.
Quilt along with us by sharing your quilt adventures in the comments.

This is such an interesting design. It reminds me of a kaleidoscope!
