Twilight Fiesta
 
2 Attachment(s)
Always wanted to make a Stack 'n Whack so when a class came up not too far away, I jumped at the chance. I was "told" to buy wild and crazy fabric and that I would need to purchase enough for 8 pattern repeats. Went to Hobby Lobby and picked out the wildest fabric I could find.....unfortunately, the repeats were 25 inches apart so I had to get 7 yards of it. When I got up to the checkout, I realized I had just purchased some of the most expensive fabric Hobby Lobby carries.....$11.99 py. !! Thank goodness I brought my 40% off coupon!!! I even had to return to get 3 more yards of this wild and crazy fabric.

Fun ....Fun...class! The pattern is out of Bethany Reynolds book Magic Stack-n-Whack Quilts, called Half-Square Triangle Magic. Loved the block but wanted a different setting that I had seen on the internet. All I had to go by on how to set the blocks was a teeny tiny black & white picture. But I loved the Triple sashing and the 9-patch cornerstones.

It turned out a lot bigger than I had envisioned. I thought it would be a queen size but it is actually 91x112. I am giving it to my Granddaughter.

Love the way your quilt turned out but I'm curious as to what the original fabric looked like. Did you take any "before" pictures? It always amazes me how different these quilts look from the original print.

Yours' came out great!! I did one once and I disliked it so much because of the fabric I chose at the time. The store was very limited in what I could choose.

Pollytink 02-17-2015 09:18 AM

Beautiful! Can we see a pic of more of your original fabric? Looks great in border and sashing but would like to see more of it. It sure did make a wild and crazy quilt!!:o

I am a BIG stack n whack fan and that fabric made a gorgeous one. Also the setting is very pretty and accents it so well.

I second that. It is a technique I wouldn't like to try sometime soon. Yours is a fine example. Thanks for sharing.

Elaine433 02-18-2015 05:18 AM

That came out beautiful. I love the fabrics. I also like to shop Hobby Lobby. They carry decent quality fabrics including some by Robert Kaufman and Michael Miller. You did a great job on that quilt. You will enjoy it for a long time.
