Stack-n-Whack Course

Imagine making quilts where every beautiful block is different just by making a simple cut. This technique works with hexagons, stars, diamonds, octagons, and triangles, so the possibilities for creativity are endless.

The kaleidoscope effect produces quilts that look intricate but are deceptively easy to cut and piece. Bethany S. Reynolds has long been known for her amazing Stack-n-Whack® techniques. Now, work alongside her to create your own Emerging Stars quilt.

In this original design created just for iquilt, combine 60° diamond stars with hexagons to complete a beautiful work of art. Not sure if you’re ready for all of that? Then learn the technique by making Zippy Strippy, a bonus hexagon pattern that is great for beginners. In either case, you’ll never look at fabric repeats the same way again.

Bethany is best known as the originator of the Stack-n-Whack® method for cutting fabrics to create astonishing kaleidoscope designs. She began to quilt when she opened a fabric store and now teaches internationally. She has published numerous patterns for quilts and wearable art, developed a line of Stack-n-Whack specialty rulers, and designed several lines of fabric for quilters. Bethany is an AQS author. Magic Stack-n-Whack Quilts, Stack-n-Whack®ipedia, and the eBook Stars à la Carte each show the many ways to use her innovative techniques. Bethany grew up next door to Acadia National Park on Mount Desert Island in Maine where her family has lived for many generations. Today she lives nearby on the mainland. When not quilting, Bethany likes working on graphic design, gardening, and playing in a local pool league.
