Piecing a kaleidoscope quilt couldn't be simpler! The patented Kaleidoscope Smart-Plate® is a brand new quilting template designed to simplify and speed-up the construction of the traditional pieced Kaleidoscope block. There is no cutting or sewing of narrow pointed triangles. Even a beginner can have great success by making the Kaleidoscope block the Smart-Plate® way. The Pin-Wheel block is a basic beginner block made of simple Half-Square Triangle patches. These are easy to make and with the Kaleidoscope Smart-Plate®, even a beginner can get the central intersecting points to match. Start with a basic Pin-Wheel block, then use the Kaleidoscope Smart-Plate® to trim it at the correct angle to obtain a perfectly sized, traditional Kaleidoscope block. Whether you are making an 8-patch "kites in the corner" version; a 12-patch "Center Octagon" version; or a combination of the two, the Right-handed and Left-handed guidelines make it quick and easy to make the Kaleidoscope block in finished blocks from 2" to 6" with the small, or 7" to 12"* with the large, Kaleidoscope Smart-Plate® . Now a beginner can be as successful as an experienced quilter when making the Kaleidoscope block, and an experienced quilter can add the Kaleidoscope block to their "quick and easy-blocks" repertoire.
