stack and slash star
 

This is my version of the 'rustic' star using stack and slash in Christmas prints and WOW.

It turned out pretty!!Great job!

I really like that.

Nice! Looks great!

Great stars!!!

Wow! I love it

nice quilt!!!

I really like this!!

Well,that sure is nice, how about a tut? Calla

Great work.

Could we please see more of the quilt?

You have done a fantastic job!

nicely done... i watched the video earlier and leah used the outside fabric in the center and the not matching didn't look good. i like that you used the same fabric for the entire star... the not matching doesn't show up your way.

That is great! What size are your blocks? I would love to see your entire quilt too.

Wonderfully done!

After reading this post, I was very disturbed by Leah Day's Slash Star, found my star top that used the same method.
I cut a piece of freezer paper the size of the star I wanted, drew the star and then just cut it from a stack of fabrics. It is sooo easy to piece them and then turn as you wish so they kinda spin.
E. Burns did the same method with her crazy patch blocks a long time ago, trim when each block when all sewn.

My blocks finish at 12 1/2", so figure I must have started with a 15-16" square of each fabric. This was my class sample and blocks are set 4x4, it is a very old UFO, so when I go through my stash, better find fabrics to finish it.

Thank you all for the comments, if I could do it, so can everyone.

very nicely done

Very nice!

What does the WOW mean? Like your version of the slashed star.....do a tute here!

It looks great

For my version of the star I had the points at the outside edges, Leah did not have any points when she cut hers. I did not press seams open, to one side like I always so.
The seams do not 'match' perfectly but having the star all the same fabric it 'looks like' they match. The seams are not too far off, you can see some of the seams in the white stars.
After your paper pattern has been cut, just use the outside pieces around the edges of the squares, no need for the center star portion to cut more blocks.
Guess I best take time from canning to go up and make a new paper pattern so I will be ready to finish my top.
Two batches of conserve are starting to pop their lids so all is well with the canning for today.

Hope I have made it a little more clear about my star, if not, feel free to pm me.

I think it's great.

White on white? At first I read it as World of Warcraft :D

What does stack and slash mean? Is that a certain type of quilt or can it be done with any quilt? Also I've heard of something like stack and whack, is that the same thing?

Thanks!

I have not heard of the World of Warcraft, thank you for clearing up the meaning of WOW. Us veteran quilters do not think about our up/coming quilters with the terms we take for granted.

Stack/slash, much easier and quicker to do, is a spin on the original Stack and Whack. Have made the 'real' Stack and Whack, really like how mine came out but like the star done with the slash method.

Pretty quilt.

Great job!

Nice star quilt. Looks very nice in Christmas fabrics.

Looks great..

Very pretty !
