You won't find any Dresden Kaleidoscope online. I teach it and you can only get it from me. I do have tutorials on making them.
You will find Dresdens and you will find Kaleidoscopes. There are One block wonders which is a different method and you can find find stack and whack but they are different from my Dresden Kaleidoscopes. I will warn they are addictive to make LOL Basically you fussy cut with a dresden blade ( I prefer to make my own templates out of thin clear plastic) and make 10 of the same spot in the fabric,
Then sew them together to make a Dresden plate with a kaleidoscope look. I learned to do this in 1980. It has become a lost art and there is very little online about a Dresden Kaleidoscope. What I did find was not like what I do.

Curtain rod are Home Depot or Low's type stores. You can also find cute curtain rods there to hang your quilt on. I even hang full size quilts on them using multiple of these clip on rings.

R-sea, your wall hanging is so awesome! Love the flowers heart in a heart.
M-fay, love your Christmas wall hanging.
Everyone's wall hangings are looking good this time.
Hope I haven't spelled anything wrong. Got my cataract surgeries done but have to wait another month to get my eyes checked for new glasses. So far so good. Loving the colors I am seeing now.
