Have you ever spotted a quilt block and thought, how on earth did they make that? The 4 patch stack and whack is one of those clever blocks that looks wonderfully complicated, yet it hides a rather delightful secret. In this fun video from Quilting In The Valley, you will see the technique broken down three different ways, so you can pick the approach that clicks for you.
Here is why this one is worth watching:
- It reveals the magic. Stack and whack always looks like it must be tricky, but once you see how it works, you will be itching to give it a go yourself.
- It gives you three ways in. Rather than one fixed method, you get three approaches to compare, so you can find the one that feels easiest and most fun.
- It celebrates happy accidents. Part of the joy of stack and whack is that no two blocks turn out quite the same, which makes every quilt a one of a kind delight.
