Kaleidoscope Block 1 of 4 - Introduction

Introduction to the block. In these videos, Marti explains the block and cutting the 2 types of triangles with a Kaleido-Ruler for perfectly fitting pieces every time.

:45 Marti identifies pieces in the classic Kaleidoscope block and shows those shapes on the multiple-size Kaleido-Ruler.

2:00 She explains why it is important that the ruler includes the corner triangle measurements.

2:56 She introduces the companion Kaleidoscope ABCs book and then points out that the positive/negative arrangement of blocks is what creates the illusion of both dark and light circles.

The pattern for the Classic Kaleidoscope in the background, and many other Kaleidoscope quilts, is in Marti's book Kaleidoscope ABCs. Information is on our Web site at http://www.frommarti.com/KABCs.shtml
