Whenever I see a beautiful print, I remember about 'stack and whack' Kaleidoscope. But just recently I have used stripes fabrics. It's so easy to make Kaleidoscope from stripes !Ori de cate ori vad un imprimeu frumos, gandul imi zboara la kaleidoscope, prima mea dragoste. Dar acum e prima oara cand am folosit materiale imprimate cu benzi. Cat de usor se lucreaza cu acest tip de imprimeu !I cut different shapes in different sizesAm taiat o multime de forme in diverse marimi si iata ce a iesit !I made hexagonsAm facut hexagoaneOctagonsoctogoaneeven squareschiar si patrateI didn't waste any piece of

Yesterday I got to help quilters take ordinary prints and and turn them into beautiful kaleidoscopes. I realized when I went to post the pictures that I should've taken pictures of all of the fabrics before cutting, so you could see the transformation, but if you click on the pictures you will be able to see what the fabrics look like. You might be surprised when you look closely and see what is making the design in some of them. The cutting is finished and the playing begins! Faces, really? Deer? Cows? where? Most of them made the Flying Kites block, but two wanted to make the LeMoyne Star version...they are gorgeous too! Star Trek, Spock and more fun! We had a lot of fun and the beauty of this class is I see these people often so I will be able to see the progress! Plus I can finish my models and have a gorgeous quilt.
I started seeing them everywhere!! And I was over at Chris' blog, Shared Creativity, and saw her beautiful regular Stack and Whack made from some gorgeous butterfly fabric and then she also did a 4-patch Stack and Whack from the same fabric and WOW!! So, of course, Bev and I had to try the 4-patch Stack and Whack and we used Japanese Chrysanthemums by Philip Jacobs. This is a piece of the Japanese Chrysanthemums and here are just a few of the 28 blocks we can create ~ This process never ceases to amaze me!! I can't find any fabric I like for the sashing and the corner stones so I am going to try to hand-dye some colors that will play well with the fun colors in these blocks.

This is a stack and whack ... it's easy, fun and goes fast. I got the cutting, piecing and top together in 8 hrs and 15 minutes. I think it's a good days showing. There's a little tut following on how I put it together. I named it SuperNova. It's going to be an Etsy quilt, but when I took it into the living room to see how it looked on a couch ... I had a Miss Piggy moment, because ... ... it looks FABULOUS along with the painting! So, here we go, here's how I put it together ... Step 1: Pick your fabrics Select good contrast, and 6 different fabrics per stack. Batiks are a good choice as they don't bias stretch too much. Step 2: Cut 10 1/2 inch squares I chose 10 1/2 because you can get 4 squares cut without much waste from 42/44 inch yardage Step 3: Make your 'template' and stack the fabric I used EQ7, but it would be easy to draw your own. This template has 6 pieces, so there are 6 different fabrics in the stack. Number the pieces in the template. Step 4: Start Cutting Cut away the corner piece first. Step 5: Keep Cutting Work around until all pieces are cut. No need to worry about precision ... all 6 layers are cut the same so they will sew together just fine. Step 6: Number the Sections Step 7: Restack the Deck Move the top piece of Sec 1 to the bottom, and 2 pieces from Sec 2 to the bottom, and 3 pieces from Sec 3 to the bottom, etc etc etc for Sections 4, 5 and 6 The stack should be perfectly sorted, with each block having 6 different fabrics. Step 8: Get Your Sew On I started by sewing all of Section 2 and 3 together, and worked my way around each section until all the pieces were together, EXCEPT the corner ... it goes on last. I did pay attention to getting that little ear extending on the OUTSIDE join of the block so the outside edge was fairly even. Step 9: Iron seams open I didn't iron as I sewed ... I waited to all 5 pieces were sewn together. The corner edge will be fairly uneven, and that's OK. Step 10: Trim I trimmed the whole block to 9 1/4 inches and evened up the corner edge. I set the 60 degree line on the top edge and that seemed to be a good angel for that corner cut. Step 11: Sew on the Corner Again, pay attention that there are little overlapped ears as you align the corner piece on. Step 12: Trim the block The blocks should be 9 1/4 inches trimmed. Step 13: Sew the blocks together The top measured roughly 53 x 71 And I like that there was nothing to match up. The template is cut so there's no matchy matchy. Liberating. This painting was one of my better thrift shop finds. And it has absolutely no provenance ... I know nothing of the artist, or the painting. Except that I really like it, and it is done with artist crayons. Lacking a name, I call it .... We Had a Lovely Time at the Regatta Except for the Pack of Wild Dogs

I hope you're not getting too tired of looking at these Stack and Whack stars. I love the unique look of each block. I was late for quilting group this week, because I had to pick up my oldest son from Driver's Education (eeeeeeek!) But I had time to stitch a little bit. I finished this block. There is a lot going on in this one. The center kind of looks like a flower, or some wavy fans. Then there is the curly wave - cool! And a big flower towards each tip. Lots to look at. What do you see? I also came close to finishing this one. You can sort of see what it's going to look like in this pic. A lot of people have asked to see the fabric I'm using for these blocks. It's called Madeline, by Blank Quilting. A lively fabric! Until next time...please visit the Curlicue Creations Shop...and have a super day! Get Creative! Jennifer Schifano Thomas
