Very nice! The rectangle blocks are a nice change from the standard square. I like the colors...both as a blue & a teal ;)

I inherited an UFO stack N slash from a friend, also started as a QAYG. It may come to retreat with me to finish up. I plan on taking out the already quilted parts and replacing the ugly/stained backing, then piecing it as a complete top.

It's lovely. I like those colors.
TFS.

Sue, This is a really neat stack and slash pattern. Looks like the hardest part is choosing what fabric to use. I like your choices!

That turned out well. I've used that method before and it's amazing what you can do with it. Good job. Love your color choices. I'm sure she'll treasure it.

Very nice! I also love the colors. Very cool and refreshing.

What a nice gift. You did a great job.

I like your version alot! Some I've seen look too chaotic to me, but yours is 'slashed' with control & order. I need to try this technique using your guidelines. Very nice colors and a very generous gift.

I think it's a beautiful quilt! Congrats on finishing another quilt.

Best to you,
Sandra

Very nice! What a great dorm room quilt!

I haven't done one; this inspires me to give it a try. I like it!

A great quilt for going off to collage. Bright and youthful.
Like the rectangle blocks with the S/S pattern. Works very nicely. Good choices and great outcome. I can see why she liked it.

What a great quilt. The colors and pattern are great for a young adult.

It looks great. I've been wanted to try that pattern, too. Thanks for showing.

It's just great!!! Makes me want to make one too -- especially since it's in my own favorite colors.

I've never done stack & whack you make it look so FUN!

I'm not always great w/ hues, the light & dark of things (& a good, full range of same). I think you handled that aspect particularly well.

Do you feel it was easy as well as fast? Sounds like you'd recommend it?

Thanks all for the compliments. The stack and slash are SO easy to make! I attached the link to the pattern - but it doesn't do it justice. I put the sashings in because I didn't like how the blocks run into each other on this pattern - I need more definition to show the pattern. Seems like I only moved one or two pieces at a time - not the 3 and 4 they say to in the pattern. Guess I'm a rebel!!! It only took about 45 minutes to make the 9 blocks - a couple hours for the sashings and borders, then quilting it.

As far as the fabric choices, I went to my LQS and found all the fabrics - they were all Modas and I just bought 9 of them in the same grouping - made my life easy. I picked the one with the teal and gold flecks for the sashing/borders and backing. They had a perfect match on the teal thread so went with that for the quilting.

Have a great weekend!

Here is a link that might be useful: Stack and slash directions

What a beautiful selection of fabrics. She will be the envy of everybody in her dorm with that lovely quilt to call her own. And thanks for the link.

In the fabric catalogs and at shows i always see beautiful packages of coordinating fat quarters. I don't buy them because I don't have a plan for them but now I do! I think the sashing you added is perfect and nicely defines the blocks.

I love the fabrics and the sashing makes each block pop. Perfect gift for a college student. Thanks for the link - I need a new method to try for quick quilts - I haven't heard of this one.

After seeing this quilt i started searching for directions on how to...Thanks for posting the link...saved me from asking what directions you followed,
It's a beauty!
