Thank You for the website, Ruth.

Have you had a go at it yet Feathers.....????lol!!! :D

Hi Izy:
I'm going through my stash this morning and I have the tutorial all printed out...I MAY have a block in the making really soon! :lol: Never having done a Stack & Wack or a Kalaidescope (other than a string-type K-scope) I'm not really sure what fabric prints to use. I bought a mirror that shows how the pattern might look but so far I'm not thrilled with any of the fabric I've pulled...have another 13 tubs to go through so I'm bound to find something! :wink:

Hey Good on ya Feathers...From what I could gather the bolder the pattern the more effect you get!!#

And don't forget you can turn your triangles both ways so can get a completely different look from the same set of triangles!! :D

Wow! Izy, thanks for the tip on turning the triangles. I would have probably seen that after they were cut but glad to have it in mind prior to cutting.

I just dug out my magic Quilt Block Design Mirrors ...that should help give me some idea of how my pattern is going to look.

Can't wait to see what you come up with!!

Izy, did you cut your squares 6"'s, and then into triangles? Or were they 6 1/2"'s. What size finished block did you end up with, im trying to do one :) I'm wondering cus i have another pattern here that uses 4 1/2' squares, and it makes a 6' finished block, so trying to decide what size yours would come out so i can decide lol silly me lol :) Here is my other pattern:

Barb - I used a metric equivalent so they were just under 6" square cut, then cut diagonally into two triangles...but remember you need to get exactly the same part of the pattern four times, to give a true kaleidescope effect by selecting identicle pattern repeats - did you check out the bobrow website?, it gives you great instructions.... :D

Thanks Izy, yes, i wasn't able to understand her instructiions, silly me lol, so im gonna try my windmill pattern. :)
