My First Stack and Whack
 

I am so happy and a bit premature to post this unfinished quilt, but I had to share my first stack and whack. I used the Deb Tucker's ruler and couldn't have been more happy with the results. You become so addicted to this technique that you can't stop making them because you don't see what each block looks like until you stitch the last stitch. It's so hard to believe that that piece of fabric made 36 different blocks and no 2 are alike. I still have to add the black border as a frame and another final border. The fabric is hard to see in the photo. The orange is a Northcott fabric with tiny gold dots. The final border is the same pattern but a darker rusty brown. It will end up 110" x 122". My thoughts are still running a muck because I have to decide what I will quilt in the snowball blocks. I would love to quilt a circular feather, but I am not experienced yet with my longarm. I pray it comes out to my liking. I've made many quilts, but this is the first one for MY bed. Dh likes it a lot.

Oh my, that is very pretty!! I understand the thrill of discovering what each new combination will produce. And isn't it great when the DH is as excited about your project as you are? Great job!

Wow, I love it!

i love your S&W! and thanks for showing the original fabric. it never ceases to amaze me

It's beautiful and I love the addition of snowball blocks. They compliment your quilt beautifully!

Wow, that is beautiful! Love the colors, and that fabric! So big, lot of work in that one!

Stunning! This fabric worked beautifully.....the perfect choice. Interestingly on the original fabric I find the white flowers distracting....but when used with this method works brilliantly. Very clever and well done.

Just beautiful. On my to do list. Which Deb Tucker rulers did you use? I love her rulers. Did you make larger and then cut down?

Turned out great!

very pretty, isn't it amazing what you cn get from that one piece of fabric? amazing job!
