Google the book, "Stack a Deck,' or Stack a New Deck," by Karla Alexander. I think that's what you are looking for. I'm trying my first one now. It has nine pieces and has uneven cut pieces.

No quilting has been on today so I imagine our PBS is doing lengthy shows for raising funds. By the way, your avatar sure does catch the pet of yours in flight. Great shot! |
I made 12 "Stack The Deck" crazy quilts about 5 yrs ago for my family. They are super easy. Each person got different "themed" fabrics and they have been very well used and loved. I saw them first on Alex Anderson's show when she was still on HGTV and ordered the book. Lots of fun, easy quilt ideas in that book.

I have both Stack The Deck books and love the first one.
Made my first quilt with it and it was fun. Its an older book so try Amazon to see if you can get a used one. |

i made a stained class quilt using this method yrs ago. using a lot of soft pastel batiks, and QAYG. turned out real nice. that was when i was in a mode of 'the next thing i do, has to be something i have never done before'. wanted to make my own bias tape. i'm out of that now.

I made one like that a few years ago using Halloween scraps. Turned out very cute. They are fun to make.
|
The only pattern like this that I know of is Stack-n-Whack. This sounds just like one I did last year.
