On my "want to do" list of quilt patterns this year is a kaleidoscope. I've looked at several, and I prefer the ones where the blocks are all arranged like gears touching. Others have space around each one so it looks like simple rows and columns, and there's not as much visual movement.
If you've done a kaleidoscope and enjoyed the method you used (written pattern or online tutorial), or if you could tell me what did not work for you, I'd love to hear it.
I've been collecting Kaffe Fassett prints I want to use for this.
Thanks.

Something like this, as far as the light and dark placement to create movement.

My main concern is how to get the movement that's perceived from placement of light and dark. I could figure out the construction, but would prefer to have the math and method spelled out for me. I know there's a ton of help "out there,' but I am asking for what, specifically, have you folks here used that has worked well for your own kaleidscope quilt making.
