It was not easy for me at that time, because of the all the small bits that I had to add on to the corners. I think I could manage it more easily now, but not then. Here it is before quilting on the design wall.
In my mind this is a true kaleidoscope pattern....true it is the old version...SnW and OBW are totally different as far as cutting out the pattern pieces and constructing the block...don't know about Ricky rim way. Don't like him.....anyway....way back I did one like pic on this post. Maybe it was an EB pattern, don't remember now, but easy peasy...and a good way to use smaller pieces of fab for a scrappy, but gives the illusion of a kaleidoscope.
