Stack-n-Whack




Judy has finished our king sized quilt. She made this quilt by using the Stack –n-Whack method.



Stack-n-Whack is a way to create quilt blocks with unique kaleidoscope designs. These designs require a set of identical pieces cut from the same print fabric. All these pinwheels were created from the fabric below.




Rather than finding and cutting each piece individually, a quilter can cut and layer a number of large, identical print rectangles to make a stack.



Each triangle or wedge cut from the stack produces a block kit, a set of identical pieces that will create the kaleidoscope effect for one block.



It is amazing to think that the pinwheels in the kaleidoscope are all made from the same fabric.





The quilting was done by Shirl Badgett who with his wife Kathy live in Calhoun County. He is a marvelous long arm quilter.
