That last quilt is very interesting to look at. Was it complicated? That I would be interested in doing. Where would I find the layout/pattern for that? Thanks. All of them look good, great job.

7x can you please tell me whe company who has this fabric. I simply must have it!!!!! Thanks

OBW = One Block Wonder - made entirely of 1 fabric with large designs and many colors giving a kaleidoscope effect but really pretty - technique is much like Stack and Whack
Stack and Whack = a type of kaleidoscope quilt made by using a repeating pattern fabric and fussy cutting a minimum of 6 identical triangles and then positioning them with the same centers. You have to pin the fabric together exactly matching each pattern and it requires a minimum of 6 layers of the same repeating pattern. |
What is the name of this fabric and manufacturer? It truly is absolutely gorgeous!!

sry cutebuns I didn't know this was a class when I sent the links :(

The stack and wacks looks like it would be a fun one to try

Thanks for clearing this up for me. I wondered about OBW. Now I understand. Thanks for sharing.

It's importand to count your repeats...You will need 6 repeats, and if the fabric has a 24 inch repeat that will already require 4 yards. In this case I would go with 5 yards. |

Is this the same as the kalidascope (sp) that I see advertised sometimes on this site? I am refering to Quilter7X. I love your fabric and how it goes together.

http://www.quiltingboard.com/virtual_section_list.jsp you'll find the board's Topic List. Look down to the one for OBWs, Stack n Whack and Kaleidoscope Quilts and there's a brief overview of the different kinds. If you click there on the heading, it will take you to a list of all the pictures ppl have posted here on the board of their finished tops and quilts. :-D |
Thanks. I learn so much from all of you.
|
Very good and beatiful fabric to show it

Stack n Whacks can be made with one or more different fabrics in the same quilt.
One Block Wonders (OBW) on the other hand are hexagons using identical stacked repeats of the one fabric all joined together without sashing or other fabric between the blocks. I hope that makes sense :? |
You did a wonderful job of showing this. Beautiful material to make it easier to notice what you meant. Good job. Thanks
Soooooooo stack means just stacking all same print together AND whack would be ???????? |
So they are can be squares or triangles. Whack means put them together? The whack is strange word to use.
Thanks Eisgoow |

Quilter7x....My SIL almost didn't get her C'mas gift last month as it was made with that same fabric. As I was making her pillow cases, my brain kept seeing OBW from the fabric!!! Please share pix as you get this one put together.

Mom - I am new at this and I saw a video and says the panels that are on edge of quilts should have seams facing to edge of quilt. I know that sometimes the bulk is worse than others at corners etc. You say to iron all seams open. Can you give more advise on this please? Exceptions to every rule ??
Thanks, Eisgoow |

One block wonders - - on a four patch, you line up FOUR layers of fabric to get the results that Quilterx7 demonstrated for us <wave> |
