Wow - it's beautiful. It looks so nice with a busy print. What a great idea. Thanx for sharing. Sara

I've admired stack and whack quilts for a long time but the diagonal seams and piecing to make them square was daunting to me...........this looks like one I CAN do!! : )

ooooooooh WOW!!! What a great idea for a quilt!! I have a few busy busy prints too that would be perfect for this!!! hmmmmmmmmmmm another project is brewing!!!

arrrghhh I have GOT to get a hold of myself and finish a couple others first before starting this!! LOL

I got this site bookmarked!

Cheers

here is my 4 patch posey. It ws easy and fun. My blocks are only 4"square.

Full posey quilt

That is a lovely quilt. I have the pattern for it, and fabric, but have promissed myself not to start anything new until I finish at least 2 projects. Unfortunatly, it is not at the top of my "to start" list. May have to revisit that list and make some drastic changes. I have done a few S&W and I am sure this one would go together much more quickly. It is actually just a 4patch, it's all in the cutting. Amazing how something so simple can turn out so beautiful!

Pretty! Connie, yours is gorgeous in those pinks! I'm bookmarking too! Now to find some "busy" fabrics! LOL!

GORGOUS!!!! I must add this to list.. JUST LOVE IT!

That's really pretty!
Now I have yet another idea for a quilt.

This is beautiful! I would love to make one! I'll have to find a pattern for my next project... after the two I have going now that is!

That is a wonderful quilt. The colors are awesome. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

where can we get instructions for this version?

I learned this from another board. This gal did a photo tutorial, it was pretty easy to figure out (esp if you have done Stack n Whack).

Here was my version :shock: Posies Gone Wild

Thank you. I will print out the instructions and try it sometime

Oh, this just looks toooooo fun AND easy!

As you may have noticed, I am really into posey blocks for quilts right now, perfect timing.

And I can imagine this technique to be wonderful with the larger Asian print fabrics and so many applications.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

This link is a keeper! :D

Thank YOU too for the step-by-step instruction link!

I am excited about this technique. I am saving both of the links on this 4 patch posey/stack n whack style quilt.

You ladies are awesome! One of the best reasons to come visit the quilting board, lots of info, lots of help, lots of pix....the best of everything!

Thanks again :wink:

Granny Dwynn I used that fabric to make a stack/wack for my grandson.

Not the one... but helps, thanks!!

This is it... thank you!!

very nice and will have to make both one day!!

Beautiful! Love your colors and makes me want to start stacking and whacking! I've never done one of these but sure looks like something I might want to try someday.

Can anyone please tell me how to cut the material to make the stacked posies? Looks like you need a fair amount of cloth. Thanks a lot!

I was thinking the same thing. Will have to go back to the tut site it was down. I can understand where the busier the pattern the more repeats, but how much to start? :shock: :?:
