Here is a tutorial on this board for a specific type of kalidescope quilt called a One Block Wonder:

Although OBW quilts are set with just the hexagonal kalidescope blocks, the same blocks can be set with contrasting fabrics to create a Stack & Whack quilt.
Here's a link to see what OBW's look like:

Sometimes we get double, even triple posts. It might be because you hit 'send', see nothing happening, and then hit 'send' again. Then again, it could be gremlins. Don't worry about it - everyone understands that it happens, just not why.
