Remember Stack 'n Whack?

Bethany Reynolds' Stack 'n Whack book was first published when I was a beginner quilter. I ran to Fabricland and picked up the cheapest cotton I could buy. This had beans of all shapes and sizes and was $1.67/yard. I couldn't imagine a more hideous fabric!

I think I made 2 or 3 of these before running out of fabric. Stack 'n Whack only uses half of the lengthwise fabric. One of my friends loved it so much, I made her one. This one ended up in the Quilt Shop Magazine a few years ago! One Block Wonder is a type of Stack 'n Whack.

Measuring the fabric repeat is the same. For fun I bought Sara Nephew's book and added a few hollow blocks since they are based on 6 diamonds. With the blocks all together without sashing, it can be overwhelming visually.
