Halloween Stack and Whack
 

Happy Halloween everyone! I love making stack and whack quilts, so easy and each block is a surprise. I scaled the pinwheel blocks down to 8 inches, the original stack and whack pattern in Bethany Reynolds first book makes a 15 inch block, but she has a chart on her website with different sized block cutting info. The alternating 4 patch block centers are leftover cuts from the pinwheel blocks. I've include a picture of the original fabric. I didn't buy it with a stack and whack in mind, I've had it for several years, probably paid $2 a yard for it on clearance. I sure do love the variety this print provided, it was scary good fun making this quilt!

awesome, love the Halloween fabrics

Love the results from this fabric. You did a great job in piecing the blocks. It will add a festive taste to all of your Halloween decorations! The label is darling.

Wow! that turned out so neat! Great Job!

Love how you made this quilt! It is beautiful! Great job!

What a great Halloween quilt! It's amazing what variety you got from that fabric.

I agree ... How very fun!

Wonderful! What a fun quilt.

what a great quilt... i would never have imagined that your orig fabric could turn out like that

Great quilt! the last picture almost looks like a Halloween "Chutes and Ladders" game.

That turned out really cute. Great use of your Halloween Snakes and Ladders.

What a great quilt! It's amazing to see the original fabric. Maybe if I saw it in person, I might have realized that was the fabric, but probably not. I am learning to look at fabric from a different perspective. My education continues.....

Very, very cool!
peace

very nice and very colourful

Absolutely fantastic quilt! I really like how you alternated the two different style blocks. I am going to keep this in mind for the future. Thanks for posting.

Wow, that is just so cool.

I hate halloween, the holiday, and all fabrics to do with it. BUT!!!! This quilt is delightful, you did a wonderful job!!:thumbup:

Wow, just looking at your original fabric, I'd never have guessed what interesting blocks you'd get from them. Like it!!

I love Stack N Wacks too. Your quilt is AMAZING. I think I need one just like it. You have great vision!! :D

Awesome!!!!

Very nice quilt....I love seeing how they come out!

Adorable and spooky cute!

Awesome quilt.

Fabulous quilt. Thanks for sharing.

Good job!!!!

How beautiful!!! That's a whole lot of work for a seasonal quilt...kudos for you.

I have a friend who makes stack and whack quilts and she always incorporates some of the original fabric into the quilt either in a border or as part of the backing so you can see what the fabric looked like before she created all the different pinwheels from it. I think this is a neat idea.

What a clever use of fun fabric. You did such a nice job.

I love your work!! Could you be a little more specific for this "challenged" person for finding the directions for scaling down the pinwheel size. I've made the 15' block but would love to make some smaller. Thanks loads.

What a great Halloween quilt. I never would have thought of making a stack and wack, but it's very creative.

Stack and Whack quilts are such a surprise and yours turned out great.

Very nice and interesting
