Here we do a stake and slash quilt with 9 fat quarters. Square up and then place a saftey pin in top lef hand corner and make an angled cut from top to bottom, take top piece from right hand side and then sew all together in the same way as shown on video, leaving that saftey pin in at all times, now make another angled cut from top to bottom this time take 2 pieces from right hand side and place at bottom and sew together, now make another cut from left side across stack take 3 pieces and place to bottom and then repeat another cut take 4 pieces from top to bottom and sew together, dont worry about joins maching exactly. Now take out pin, iron all blocks, trim to same size, arrange trying not to but the same fabrics together, you will find some fabrics will be repeated in same block but thats ok, I have sashed the blocks and added boarders then when quilting played with my fancy stitches and quilted over the seams giving a crazy patch work look. Great fun quilt to make and top can be made in a day. Great for themed fabric.

Donna Jordan has 2 videos on kaleidoscope quilts. The first one has Matt stacking the fabrics and it’s excruciating to watch just how painstakingly tedious it was. The results were spectacular but I didn’t have the patience to even try Much more recently Donna showed how to cut and pin the pieces and it was SO easy.

Thanks for sharing

These would be perfect for making pillows too.

I like the pinked edges

can't wait to try this! thank you!!!!

Stack n Whack was published in 1998 by Bethany Reynolds. Saw the technique at the Paducah Quilt Show and two friends and I raided the fabric department at Walmart in Paducah for outlandish fabric patterns to test it out. Only time as an adult we were out in our pajamas and robes around 2 AM (and no alcohol was involved).

A layer cake is about 3 yards of fabric. I love them when they’re on sale, lol, but the problem is that there are usually some prints I don’t like. I buy them from Missouri Star’s Daily Deal when I buy them. Sometimes they’re as low as $19.99.

You could turn blocks different angles

Check out kaleidoscope quilts. Stack n Whack is another term for them.

What ever it’s called, I like it!

I have a layer cake that measures 10 x 9.75. I think this method of cutting would work for it because I can then square it up after sewing. Thanks for the tutorial.

Me too

I make more cuts for my stack and whack. If I have 5 fabrics in a set, I make 4 cuts, if I have 6 fabrics, I make 5 cuts. When you have several cuts, you move one down to the bottom on one stack, two down to the bottom on another, etc. This way, every cut section is a different fabric. Note: If you edge the pieces with an inch wide strip on black before sewing them back together, you get a stained-glass look to your block.

Its a great idea and looks lovely. However for accurate quilting I would not personally recommend using your cutting board grid as a measure (which distorts over time). I have always been shown to bring the ruler in from the left (at the rulers 3 inch mark) on this occasion and cut the three inches off on the left down the right side of the ruler, leaving 7 inches of fabric to the right. This would be accurate every time.

You need to make sure you do not have two of the same print together in the original stack for this to work!

Hmmm, no other complaints. Maybe it’s your device’s resolution.

This is a lovely quilt, but it is NOT Stack 'n Whack. It's called Stack 'n Slash. This was the first "version" that was created, but later Bethany Reynolds created Stack 'n Whack, which requires cutting a single fabric into several sections. Each section is a duplicate as far as the placement of the print. These sections are matched, one on top of the other, and cut so that every section cut is identical. At this point, you can choose Stack 'n Whack or One Block Wonder (they are NOT the same.) SnW is simply sewing these sections together in a kaleidoscope design and using sashings or spacers between the blocks. One Block Wonder is always hexagon shapes that fit together to make a single 1 block (the entire quilt.) The sections are sewn in sets of 3 to make the hexagon and then sewn in strips, placement relying on the movement of colors and designs to flow through the entire top. Please make sure you have the correct term when demonstrating a technique. You are muddying the conversations because your students will call it one thing, but find that it's quite different.
