Description
Working with medium- to large-scale prints, quilters can create dynamic pieced blocks without hours of planning and precision cutting. The kaleidoscope effects occur spontaneously, thanks to the ingeniously simple 'Stack-n-Whack'® cutting technique. By stacking identical repeats of fabric, quilters can efficiently cut the pieces needed for all the blocks. Each block will be unique and unexpected, keeping the quilting experience fresh and exciting! With over 200 how-to illustrations and show more dozens of color plates. Designs include the classic LeMoyne Star, Hybrid Lilies, Kaleidoscope Pinwheel, Hexagon Star, Diamond Ring, Morning Star, and others, all pieced with construction methods that eliminate set-in seams and ensure quick, successful results. show lessTags

I return to this book again and again. It has triggered a few extravagant fabric purchases as this method does require more than the usual amount of fabric. The results are worth it if you follow the author's advice when selecting fabric. Stacking and cutting isn't fun but Bethany's mini tagging gun makes it oh so easy to be accurate. The magic happens when you fan your identical pieces out for the big REVEAL.
The first book on this now classic technique. How to use your large scale off-beat fabrics. Still great information and the first book to consult for this type of design.
