I agree with you about adding the "addictive" notice. I really got hooked on stack 'n whack quilts for a while. Even my husband was watching for good fabrics for them. He would even point out fabric in clothes and say that it is s & w fabric!
I haven't made one for a while now but I am seeing some beautiful sunflower fabrics right now that I would sure love to turn into a stack ' whack! So I think I may be doing another one soon.

Hah!, once you've made a OBW, you'll never look at printed fabric the same again! For a period of time, that's the only kind of fabric I'd buy. I think I have at least 12 different prints, patiently waiting for me to cut them up and sew them back together for a totally new look.

For a long time my obsession was the disappearing 9 patch. I must have made 10 or 12 of them. Recently I went to a OBW class, and I have 3 of them started!! I did a couple of SNW quilts years ago and loved it! But never thought of putting it together the way the OBW is arranged!
