Among the Stars Stack & Whack Quilt

Among the Stars is a beginner-friendly quilt that is also a good introduction to the stack-and-whack (also known as kaleidoscope) technique. Stack-and-whack quilts use a method where the same pattern detail in a fabric is stacked and then cut (whacked) and then arranged to create a kaleidoscope effect. The center of each star uses the stack-and-whack method. 

The quilt pattern is available in three sizes and there is also a table runner option. The sizes are:

• Throw 68″ x 68″
• Twin 70″ x 85″
• Queen/King 104″ x 104″
• Table Runner 24″ x 54″

A sample is hanging in the shop.
