I saw a program on the telly the other week and the quilt lady used her own
fabrics to make her Kaelidascope quilts.
I thought I could do this as I love to dabble in Graphics.
I made my own "Fractal images" and imported them into Photoshop and then
used a small free plugin to Kaelidascope the images. Increased the
"contrast" and the " saturation " amounts then copied them to a new Image
with a 600 dpi (thats so when they are printed the colours come out better)
I used the Bubble Jet Set on a white quilters muslin and did what you are
meant to do then printed them out. I found from previous experience that
using the muslin makes for a floppier fabric in the end.Other fabrics that I
have printed on have come out too stiff.
WOW ! now all I have to do is work out what colours and styles to do the
sashings and I have my very " own " quilt. Designed and made by me, all me.
The images I came up with are here if anyone wants to see.

One day in the near future I may get to sew for the day then I can start on
it.

very cool!. I love fractal images. Did you make the fractal images in a
vector program? Like Illustrator or coreldraw? I would love to have a
link to the free plug in.
