I just registered for the Quilting Board the other day and while browsing around the website looked at some directions for making round(ish) patches by stacking printed fabric with the pattern exactly on top of itself and cutting so all pieces are identical. When sewed together you have a kaleidoscope effect. I've actually seen this called kaleidoscope but the article or tutorial I was reading called it something like Dresden kaleidoscope (?). The finished piece looked rounder on the outer edges vs. the pointy kaleidoscope versions. Can someone point me to a tutorial for this interesting technique, and does it have a name other than stack and whack or kaleidoscope? Thanks....I just bought some fabulous fabric to experiment with!
