I understand the concept of stack and whack or one block wonder quilts, so I decided to just give it a go and figure it out as I go. I haven't read the book or watched tutorials ( not so great at following directions). But I'm wondering a couple of things that those of you who have done a lot might have opinions on --

-- do you press your seams open or together? I'm doing some each way to see which I prefer. The jury is still out.

-- do you chain piece your triangles when making hexagons? Or do you think it's better to complete one set of triangles / hexagon at a time?

-- how big do you prefer to make each triangle unit? or is that a function of the repeats in the fabric? Is there a range of sizes that seems most pleasing to you?

Is the center point, where all six triangles meet, lumpy and problematic when you go to quilt?

I have the most hideous fabric I am using for this experiment -- and I'm so pleased at how pretty the blocks end up being. I seriously think I could win an "Ugliest fabric ever" contest :D
