    What is the difference in the Stack and Whack and the OBW, as far as cutting them out? Or is there any?

    I like it. I've never done it. What is it and how do you do it?

    I love your blocks! I have yet to make a stack n whack, however I have a whole stack of fabrics pulled from my stash that will be perfect, I've made "mirrored" blocks from all of them, now to make the real thing. Can't wait to see your finsihed quilt.

    The layering part is pretty much the same, the cutting depends on the kind of blocks. For OBW, you use triangles to make either hexagons or octogans but stack n whack can be squares, triangles, ribbon strips, fans etc. The real difference is in the layout. OBW = no sashing and you are aiming for an all over design that flows around the surface of the quilt. With the right fabric and a skilled designer, this process deconstructs and reforms the fabric onto a whole new level. In stack n whack the blocks are sashed and each stand alone in their individual beaty - like this lady's lovely blocks posted here. :-D

    Very nice. Great colours. On my 'to do' list. Look forward to seeing the finished project.

    Beautiful job!! I know exactly what you mean, I did one, with the intention of only doing 1, before you know it, I had 5 done, and going through my fabric, I keep saying, oh, this would be neat as a stack and Whack. I have to keep telling myself, not until I get done with the 10-15 I already have planned with the fabrics set aside.
