Oh, and remember, once you start thinking of trying kaleidoscope or stack and whack, keep your eyes peeled on the specials tables for striped fabric. I tend not to use the wide floral stripes in quilts, bit too much like cheating with panels, but for this they're perfect. Especially for your first attempt, rather than cutting your wedges from pieced strip sets and having seams to match up, the stripe does all the work for a really effective block. I know I have a few metres of a very pretty chocolate with roses stripe there, I think the stripes are about 3" wide. That'll be a kaleidoscope for sure!!
