Kaleidoscope Foundation Block

A Kaleidoscope Block is cut from a pinwheel block.

Make a sample block to learn the technique before

cutting the fabric for your quilt.

IECING

Make four half-square triangles from

the 6" squares of light and dark

ABRICS

fabrics by placing a square of each

fabric right sides together, marking

Cut 2—6" Squares

across the diagonal, and sewing a

from Light Fabric

1/4” seam on either side of the line.

Cut 2—6" Squares

Cut on the line and press the seams

from Dark Fabric

open. Each set of squares yields

two half-square triangles. Trim these

finished half-square triangles to 5".

Sew four half-square triangles

together to form a pinwheel. Press

the seams open.

UTTING THE

ALEIDOSCOPE

Glue the kaleidoscope template to

the wrong side of the pinwheel block,

matching the lines on the template to

the seam lines of the pinwheel. The

kaleidoscope block instructions state

which fabric should be on the corners.

Place the template accordingly.

Place the 6-1/2" Creative Grids™

Square It Up & Fussy Cut ruler on

Pattern from

top of the template so that the

Penny Haren’s

1/4" seam extends beyond the

Pieced Applique

template on all sides.
