Summary: Excellent guide to easily making kaleidoscope quilts
Comment: 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.

Summary: A wonderful, detailed book on a new technique.
Comment: Bethany Reynolds has brought to the qulting word the greatest new quilting technique in a very long time. It is an exciting new concept in making kaleidoscope quilts: faster, more beautiful, and so much fun it is addictive. The book is excellent, clearly written, with many suggestions on fabric choices, as well as understandable diagrams with the directions.

Summary: Wonderful results, but recommend taking a class too.
Comment: 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!
