On the login screen, there should be an icon that points to a "session chooser." What that icon looks like and where it is located depends on the display manager (that's what manages the login screen) you are using, plus any tweaks that a distro may have made to the display manager.
Log out of Fedora and then fish about on the login screen until you find the "session chooser." You will know that you have found it when because, when you click it, it will give a list from which to choose your desired desktop environment/window manager. Select KDE and log back in.
