Stack-n-Whackier Quilts (Another Magic Stack-n-Whack(tm) Book) [Illustrated] [Paperback] Review

Stack-n-Whackier Quilts Book) [Paperback]This is the first "stack n whack" book that I've purchased. I bought it because of the butterfly quilt pattern, but there are many other projects that will catch your eye and send you running to the fabric store! The basic principle of this technique is to utilize the repetition of patterns within fabric in a consistent way to create "kaleidoscopic" effects in your quilt design.It does take a little careful reading to understand the technique, and how the "dynamics" of the fabric will matter to the design, but the book has very good directions, and great photos.
All in all there are 12 designs which demonstrate 3 different techniques:
1 - Stack n Whack, which is the "simplest" form
2 - Mirror image magic, which relies on using both the right and wrong side of the fabric for a different effect
3 - Stack n select, a more selective method of cutting to provide more control to the end design.
The variability in the appearance that can be achieved through the use of one fabric and this technique is amazing. I can't wait to start my first project!
