Is there a kaleidoscope quilt block
I have always loved playing with a kaleidoscope when I was a child and was wondering if the was a quilt block in kaleidoscope that I can make myself a kaleidoscope quilt?

There are kaleidoscope quilts and quilt blocks. The most well known Kaleidoscope block is this one, featured in one of the QB swaps

Take a look at the one-block wonder quilts. They are fun to make and not to challenging if the fabric layers are matched when cutting and produce fascinating designs just like the kaleidoscopes. The one I started is still in the UFO stage because I can't decide how to arrange the blocks I've finished but I am sure there are other examples on this board or pinterest.

check out Ricky Tims Kool Kaleidascope He teaches a technique to make several size different sizes and place in lots of different ways to make quilts. Here's one I made using that technique.[ATTACH=CONFIG]586153[/ATTACH]
