    If you can run to making 9 you could make a smallish square lap quilt, incorporating them with other fabrics. See http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-92847-7.htm for my attempt using kaleidoscopes cut from recycled fabric. Linda Rotz Miller makes lovely quilts using small numbers of kaleidocope blocks (rather than complete OBWs) http://www.quiltsandquilttops.com/

    Thanks everyone. I have done the Dresden Kaleidoscopes for several years. I love the combination of the kaleidoscope with the look of a Dresden Plate.

    Here are a couple of fun ones I included in the ebook. I played with this cat fabric and I think they are cute!

    This first one makes me think of a spider in the center but they are the cats tails.

    I didn't realize til I had it put together the second one half of the blades are not the same as the other half.
    Can you tell the differance?

    I think these are gorgeous! They'd be doubly so as the central focus of a table cloth. Maybe add 1/4 of one to each of the four corners, point in the corner?
