Paula Nadelstern's lecture at FCQ. Paula makes her quilts on a featherweight sewing machine in her 2 bedroom apartment in the Bronx. See her website for a list of fabric stores in New York's garment district.

One of Paula Nadelstern's kaleidoscope quilts. She was first inspired by seeing the axis of symmetry in a Liberty of London fabric.

Instead of joining 16 or 24 pieces in the middle, Paula tops two segments with a single triangle. "Seamless" connections between patchwork pieces rely on having the same background color in adjacent fabrics.
