Actually they are NOT fussy cut - the pieces are cut from stacked strips of fabric and the design falls where it will. Many ppl think that this technique 'wastes fabric'. In fact it's one of the least wasteful techniques I've done! :-D
I was under the impression that the fabric is stacked so that the design repeats are lined up to match each other. That's how all the 'petals' of the kalaidescope are the same within itself, but different from every other block. No, none of the fabric is wasted because the triangles are cut next to each other.
