You are SO right! I started one OBW, and really liked the way it was turning out (I had about 30 'blocks'). Then I started thinking about how neat it would look with a different fabric that had brighter colors, etc. You get the idea. I now have two OBWs in progress, but no quilt tops out of them yet! (But if I happen to see just the right fabric......)

My mind is over run with ideas, I don't need this one trying to sneak it's way in!

They also didn't appeal to me...that is until I was "forced" to try it as a border for an IRR quilt (see, that wasn't mine). It was so much fun and turned out so great that the OBW sucked me in too, so be very careful!! LOL!!!

I don't know why they don't appeal to me.

I made my first stack and whack in Paducha and it is beautiful and easy. I will make more.

This is so true!!! I had made a bunch of stack and whacks, about 9 or so. They were so fun to make and see what the designs came out to be. I did one with animals and ended up, unintentionally, with a skunks stripes down a polar bear's back. I loved doing those. One lady at a quilt guild I was apart of at the time made fun of me for doing so many. I don't care they were fun to do.

I did do one with a couple of different parrot designs. Turned out very cute.
