This block is pretty much the same as Block 2, Amethyst. I wanted to make sure that this version didn't look like Amethyst at all. For the shibori version I switched the placement of the shibori fabric. For the symmetry version I started with the border triangle and pulled a fabric that I have not used in these blocks yet. I positioned the template so that the lines in the fabric created a border for the pieced triangles. I think you would never be able to tell that Amethyst and Rocky Road are almost the same block.
Here are the templates and you can see that I started with another fabric. But after cutting it out I was afraid it would look too much like block 6.
Here are the fabrics that I used in this block.
You can get directions for making this block on Barbara Brackman's blog and you can see the other blocks in the Flickr group.
Both are outstanding this week but I have to say that the kaleidoscope is my favorite!

I'm loving these blocks, and that you're doing 2 of each. You must have an awesome kaleidoscopes stash!

Very cool blocks Vicki....very cool!
The gradations and shibori in the green block are wonderful.
Keep at it girl!
