Fun, ain't it? And on this scale, we can really crank 'em out!!! :D

EDIT - I have to credit Rhonda with 'mini-mising' my mind! :lol:

That is beautiful. What a great job. I need to get her new E book.

Love them K Thanks so much for taking the pictures! I love the one with the baskets in the middle the best. They are all great! but I toyed with the idea of the baskets for the middle and just didn't think I would get enough interest. I was wrong! It turned out wonderful!

I think that's an advantage of stack n whack - the designs fall random, so you can't 'over think' it! I also think that's what I find so liberating - I'm the Queen of over-thinkers!!! Plus, with this technique, it's about the placement of Ks one next to another - some of the ones you think are the most stunning when you're assembling the blocks just don't work in the over all design. So those you can use in the border, as corner blocks for eg or appliqué them to the back, which is what I'll do with the left over blocks here. :D

...and they're FAST which is perfect for my easily bored Gemini brain!

I'm not a Gemini but I suffer from the easily bored and easily distracted diseases!!
I can handle something that I can do in a few hours but if it takes too long I am bored and ready to move on before I get the present project done!!
Small and easy is my mantra!!! Hence the shortcuts!!

This is SO MUCH fun - you sit there with your little stack of triangles and lay them out in a hex and the design appears! If you don't like it, you can turn the triangles and see which way you like best - it's CAPTIVATING! Try it - you'll love it, I guarantee! BTW hope you don't want the fabric back now, Rhonda! LOL
