Paula Nadelstern designs her fabric with her signature kaleidoscope quilt style in mind.
Many have made OBW's using it.
I made a large kaleidoscope quilt from her Luminosity collection.

But you need multiple repeats with the same portion of the fabric design to make the kaleidoscope.

All the OP has are 10" blocks - and only 2 of each pattern - and who knows if they're identical cuts.

So if there was enough fabric, then absolutely cut the pattern up into smaller pieces because you can create something larger that's beautiful from those smaller pieces.

But, sadly, there isn't.
