  "Kaleidoscopic XV: Eccentric Circles" (59 by 76 inches, 1995) was machine pieced from silk and cotton fabrics and hand quilted. "In the body of the quilt," Paula explains, "I maintained the nap of the French tapestry-like silk in one direction. In the fractured border I cut it randomly, hoping to catch the light in different ways." The quilt is featured in Kaleidoscopes & Quilts by Paula Nadelstern (C&T Publishing, 1996).
