The astonishing quilts that spring from Paula Nadelstern's passion for kaleidoscopes will change your view of what a quilt can be. This book highlights Paula's life work and shows how you can use her techniques to create your own unique fabric art.


I've been told that I write books pretty much the same way that I make quilts. Fabric by fabric. Choice by choice. In a word, slowly. Although my everyday life often rushes past the particulars, my creative life celebrates them. I've found essential words, words I can live by, embedded in my quilting: insight, imagination, nuance, mastery, grace. For me, art is in the details.

I make my quilts on the same block in the Bronx where I grew up. We are three generations living within a block of each other on this most northern New York City street: my daughter, my mother, my mother in-law, my husband, and me. For over twenty-five years, my workspace in our ninth floor, two-bedroom, cram-packed-with-fabric and-sewing-stuff apartment was the 42-inch round kitchen table.




Our perpetual dining companion was a Singer Featherweight, purchased for $25 at a yard sale. I used to call it an old machine until I learned it was a year younger than I am. Together we made my first quilt (a comforter cover, really) in 1968 in my college dorm. We continued as a team through the first twenty-seven quilts in my kaleidoscopic series. Today, I work in a 15-by-10-foot studio revamped from my daughter's former bedroom. Picture ceiling-high cupboards stuffed with fabric, drawers overflowing with the paraphernalia quilters collect, 6 feet of design wall, and a Bernina poised for action on a 4-by-6-foot counter.

My interest in things kaleidoscopic began in 1987 when I was struck by a bolt of fabric—a sumptuous, sinfully expensive, bilaterally symmetrical Liberty of London cotton known as Tana Lawn. Little did I know that purchasing a quarter yard would change my life forever, leading me, three years and four quilts later, to the state-of-the-art kaleidoscope and a new career. The insight from this anecdote is obvious: buy that piece of fabric no matter how expensive it is. As I peer through the incredible kaleidoscopes I have garnered over the years, like a sleuth searching for clues, I discover my design inspiration all over again. Who knows what the next turn of the scope will reveal, to me or to you?.
