I press the seams open instead of to one side.

I press the seams on the star open. On the pinwheels I pressed exactly like the pattern said to and had no problem.

Your quilts are awsome. Would you believe I made a shirt out of the brown fabric many years ago? Too bad I didn't get enough to do a quilt. :lol:

Yes, I can believe that. The butterfly fabric in the black background S&W, I originally purchased to make me a MooMoo to run around the house in. Man am I glad I didn't get that project cut out. I like the S&W much better than the MooMoo.

Stack & Whack is a method of cutting a large-scale print fabric so that you have kaleidoscope-type triangles to put together into 6-sided or 8-sided blocks. You cut the fabric apart where it repeats, then stack up 6 or 8 identical sections, then cut triangles. You take one stack of identical triangles and arrange into a hexagon or octagon. Here's a tutorial for wedge-shaped stack N whack: http://www.bethanyreynolds.com/what'ssnw.html
Here's a link to Bethany Reynolds' book that started it all: http://www.amazon.com/Magic-Stack-n-.../dp/1574327046

Another book, One Block Wonders, is a take-off on the Stack & Whack, but then you put the hexagons together without sashing or spaces between: http://www.amazon.com/One-Block-Wond.../dp/1571203222
