    By the way yours are beautiful. This is my first time making them.
    My dKs are 8" so they would work for your 10 1/2" background block. I can send you a free template if you send me your postal address. I also can send it electronically if you can trace it onto clear plastic and cut it out.

    Thank you everyone for your nice comments! I love making these. They really arent' that hard. I do end up having to fuss with the seams a bit as I end up tightening the seams toward the center some times to get it to lay flat.

    As to the center I usually make a flat yoyo and top stitch it on the center.

    I won't be making a quilt with these they will be going into my online store.

    They're lovely! I'm about to make my first kaleidoscope and I hope my blocks turn out as beautiful as yours.
