I firmly believe every book/pattern/tutorial/instruction should have the following warning.

Be aware that this technique is addictive and may cause undue stress on your quiltmaking. You will discover that before you have the first top finished you will have another cut, another on the cutting table to be cut and about three more still in the original store bags waiting in line to start the process.

I agree 100%. I have noticed that too. The Bow Tucks, well, I have made so many that they are getting very boring anymore.

I think you would be very pleased with the outcome. I have some parrot fabric but not quite enough. Darn it!!

Stack N Whacks are certainly addicting! Beware that One Block Wonders are actually a form of SNW! Took a class in OBW a couple of weeks ago and now am working on it while two SNWs are sitting there waiting to be completed! Why is it so easy to get distracted?

I have yet to make my first stack and whack, but already I'm addicted, I have several fabrics purchased just for that as well as numerous books, I am addicted before even cutting the fabric :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
