had you always planned on making it into a stack and wack or did the forum introduce you to the idea here. Either way, it is a fabulous quilt. Please be sure to show us when it is done being quilted and post it in the forums quilt gallery.

I made 2 S&Ws and love them. Yours is beautiful and adds a new dimension to a design. I used the Deb Tucker ruler and found it very easy. No Y seams. How did you construct yours? I love the 24" center star. Just beautiful.

Camille, there are no y-seams in this quilt. I constructed it using triangles and then joining quadrants. I have done several things using S&W technique, including table toppers, DPs, 4-patch posies, paper piecing, etc. Jane, I chose this fabric to be a S&W because I had seen one with a large LM star medallion once upon a time and this fabric resembled what was used. The similarities ended there, however. I first learned of the S&W technique while cruising the internet and looking for information about quilting as I have sewn all my life. The process has so intrigued me that I am pretty much limiting projects to those in which the technique can be utilized. I have used S&W blocks and combined them with alternating blocks of a different nature, etc. I actually learned by watching youtube videos and then I ordered the books. I have never done a one-block wonder setting even though this is the first book I purchased.
Thank you for the nice comments. I really appreciate the comments that helped me decide this setting.
