Thanks! the only question I have because I have never made one but what stacks do you get your block from? Is it every block is a stack or do you get a block from the top layer then the next layer? I hope I'm making sense. I bought fabric for this I'd love to try it!!

Each stack makes one block. Every piece in the stack is exactly the same if you have matched up your repeats precisely. Every piece in each block is the same. That's where the kaleidoscope effect comes from.

Thank you. so does that mean each stack must have 8 wedges? I noticed there were 8 pieces to make up the kaleidoscope...

The kaleidoscopes we did at our local class do not look like these. Initial methods same cutting of triangles was as follows; after the pinning through good points, the 8 layers were cut into squares, size was worked out by the size of material. A 4 inch square roughly would make 8inch shape. Cut the squares in half diagonally. Keep 8 pieces together. Look at "angiequilts" blog site to see all our different layouts. No 2 shapes look alike.
