The light/dark and dark/light is referring to the 'X's' in the block;
The top left block below is a dark/light block and the 2nd from the left (top row) is a light/dark block. Our corner units will be light/neutral.
Hope that helps - - -

Great! And, yes, your 1st block is a light/dark and the 2nd block is a dark/light.
Ganny - I'm curious to know what size triangle you cut to do these blocks?

Jane, I took one of the paper pieces, and cut the 3 sizes out adding the 1/4 inch allowance. Then Used that to make a plastic template. I guess you could do the same with cardboard. Just made it easy for me. There is only 3 sizes, so it works out well.

I have a question... what is the preference for the corners. I got crazy last night and cut out 40 sets and realized I did not use light colors for all corners. I noticed in the picture, they are not all light corners. Please let em know before I sew all these. Thank you!

I've seen Kaleidoscope quilts with half-light corners/half-dark corners and others with all light/neutral corners. In this swap we're doing all light/neutral corners. Here's an example:
