I finally figured out how I want to make the borders for kaleidoscope using Marti Micell's template. I needed to take apart the border pieces that were already sewn and add the top triangle before sewing the unit together. When I made a new row, I could do it right in the first place.
I added the top border.
altogether, I added 3 borders and I have one to go before it was time to leave the open sew. I really like how this one looks. I have decided that I don't want a darker outer border.
