Those are definately on my to-do list, I even bought a book for reference, and fabric to make it with, but I haven't come close to starting, lol!

Can I ask how long these take to piece?

Sort of. Whack and Stack is a simplified, but not by much, method of getting identical pieces cut for a k_scope quilt. Other methods include cutting clear templates and then trimming carefully to pull the elements together.

This is a nice book I found at the library:

http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art1708.asp

Just be aware that they take up a fair amount of fabric since everything is fussy cut and the points of the elements get pretty thick when you are sewing them, making it hard to get consistent seams.

And no, I haven't tried one yet, it's on the list of things to do in 2034.
