How to make a kaleidoscope block

The kaleidoscope block is a favorite among quilters for its unique and eye-catching illusion of curves design, as well as its versatility and ease of construction.

I chose to make this block with paper piecing because it has many points and it’s easier to sew accurately with this technique.
