5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent guide to easily making kaleidoscope quilts,
By Angel Lee "Liocorno Amethyst Moonstone" (Cleveland, OH United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)
This review is from: Magic Stack-n-Whack Quilts (Paperback)
As a beginning quilter, I found this book to be an excellent guide for easily making kaleidoscope quilts without mirrors or extensive measuring and cutting. As a paper crafter as well, I found the technique great for collages.The book starts out by explaining how to choose fabric and pick colors. It's a great plus that almost any fabric that has a repeat pattern can be used. Then, there are lots of great tips on rotary cutting, machine piecing & pressing. Next, the stack-n-whack process is demonstrated in detail with step-by-step instructions and full-color photos. Fourteen different quilt projects, in 7 different styles follow. Illustrations are used instead of photos for these. The quilts themselves are beautiful. There are large color photos of each one. In the back there are guides and patterns for all the projects as well as lesson plans for classes.

Wonderful results, but recommend taking a class too.,
By "deborahl" (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Magic Stack-n-Whack Quilts (Paperback)
Following this technique you will get wonderful results, but you need to have patience. Patience both in reading/comprehension as well as executing the technique. I had seen a Stack-n-Whack quilt completed at a local quilt store. It was stunning! The store offered a class, but of course, it was already full. I was told that the class is so popular it usually fills in the first week it's offered. So, I made an attempt at it with the book alone. It was tedious at first, and I had to read the how-to's more than once. The patterns it created from only one print fabric were so varied it was amazing. Generally, I have trouble choosing colors for quilts, and with this technique all you need is one fun bold fabric, background and borders. The author offers many helpful hints on selecting fabrics and has included photos of do's and don'ts. It shows each step through photos of an actual quilt's progress, so follow the photos as you read the instructions and you'll do fine. I can't wait to start my next one!

I COULD'NT WAIT ! ! ! !,
By Rita Reed (Baltimore,Ontario,Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Magic Stack-n-Whack Quilts (Paperback)
I must say that I don't buy many books.I saw Bethany Reynolds on "Simply Quilts" ,I was so impressed at how simple her tecnique was that I ordered the book that same day. I told my friend about the book and sparked her interest too. We decided that we would do a quilt together when the book came in. I was so excited when I got the book that I looked through it and showed my friend. The book has many good pictures as well as a lot of detailed instructions. I got so excited about it that one week before Christmas I started my first stacknwhack. Since my friend had many things to do before Christmas, I started it without her.I COULDN'T WAIT! Luckily she was very understanding. I finished a baby sized quilt in two days. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another book from Bethany Reynolds. I don't think I have ever read a book with such clear instructions.
