Melissa Nilsen led this year’s 2022 opportunity quilt. Melissa loves Kaleidoscope quilts! She says: “It's a single block, and yet there are so many designs you can make just by how you place the colors. I was inspired by several Kaleidoscope quilts I saw on Instagram that all looked so different. I used my EQ8 software to design this quilt and plan the color placement. I like how circles form out of straight-edged pieces, and how secondary patterns form as your focus changes.” We used mostly batiks that we had in storage. Pieced blocks were done by: Joan Anderson, Carol Carter, Jean Carter, Marcia Dains, Melissa Nilsen, and Darlene Stump. Gabrielle sewed on the sleeve and label. Donated quilting and binding done by Donna Chipperfield.
