that is pretty fabric
|
The big difference I have noticed is that stack and whack are with 8 triangles and have a background and binding between. The OBW are six triangles and can all be connected to each other.
|
S&W's that I have seen, can have from 4 to 12 pieces (and sets of repeats in them,) and there are many different block choices, where OBW's only have 6 are are hexagons only (or cube shapes) :D:D:D
These blocks/quilts are defined by the technique of stacking your fabrics in the manner shown above, and cutting out shapes so each piece is identical in shape, and also the placement of the fabrics details on each piece, to make a Kaleidoscope effect. :D:D:D I have a OBW planned that will use several colorways of the same fabric... it isn't a hard and fast rule to use only one fabric, it is up to the quilter :wink: One S&W quilt was made of blocks with 12 fanblades (12 repeats) it was gorgeous :D:D:D |
Stack n Whack are made with 4, 6 or 8 or more identical stacked repeats and can be squares (4), hexagons or half square triangles (6), octagons (8) or more (like dresden plates) and are usually made into blocks with sashings or other fabric between the actual stack n whack blocks. Stack n Whacks can be made with one or more different fabrics in the same quilt.
One Block Wonders (OBW) on the other hand are hexagons using identical stacked repeats of the one fabric all joined together without sashing or other fabric between the blocks. I hope that makes sense :? |
Thanks Quilter7X for sharing your photos that makes it much clearer

I bought some of that same gorgeous fabric!

Look for videos by Bethany Reynolds, she also has published books.

Thanks for posting this--I was feeling kinda dumb, as I've made the stack and whack & the stack & slash, and took a long break from quilting (for health reasons) and when I looked at these OBW's, I thought before I buy another book, I need to figure this out! The only difference I could see on "everybody's beautiful OBW's (and they are BEAUTIFUL, by the way) was there was no sashing needed. I even talked this over with my kids, cuz I was trying to figure it out! I guess I'm a little slow at times, but thanks for the clarification. Thanks for the videos too!

How many yards is a good amount to buy for the fabric?
