It is called Stack and Whack...not all formulations of the stack and whack are the same...I made one after watching an episode of Alex Anderson before she and Ricky Tims joined forces..she had the little older woman Mary Ellen( cant remember her last name)on, teaching this method. I had 9 different fabrics in 9 inch squares...one of each color stacked and made 5 or 6 cuts in each stack...I moved one piece of fabric from top to bottom of one cut...then took the second piece to the bottom...then next the third and so forth to each stack of blocks until I had them all cut and moved into the correct order. I then placed each stack into a baggie until they were sewn...after trimming I had enough blocks to make a HUGE quilt and no two blocks were alike...
