    This is a show stopper! I hope you plan to enter it somewhere! It is truly a winner!

    Can you tell me where I can get instructions to do Stack n Whack for that pattern?

I don't know if you can see them in these photos or not. See what you think.

    I use light heat and bond and it seems to me to be softer and more plyable. Love your quilt it is beautful.
