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...
Yes - that is exactly how I learned. It was called a Stack n Whack then. My couch quilt is brown red and cream done this way - fast and easy and makes you look like you know what you are doing!
I agree, kaleidescope was always called OBW and not stack and whack for the longest time. I don't know when the names switched around. My very first quilt was a Stack N Whack. I still have the pattern and that was the official name of it.
my first quilt top ever, turned it into a bedspread!

crazy 9 patch was the name of the one i did..the pattern was in a magazine. i also did it "quilt as you go" style after i made the blocks. super easy and quick.

Sounds like Stack the Deck.

The method is covered in a book by Karla Alexander called Stack the Deck! Crazy Quilts in 4 Easy Steps.
