A great deal of my quilting time this week was spent preparing to do a demonstration at our quilt guild meeting. I had volunteered to demonstrate how to do "Stack & Whack" quilting, and needed a few new samples to share. I used a large-scale vegetable print fabric for the first set of blocks.
The other set of blocks I made this week had already been cut out several years ago and were just waiting in my bin of Stack & Whack samples and fabrics. These blocks have already been joined together with the red-orange setting fabric, and I'm planning to add a border of the main print to turn this into a baby quilt.
Total fabric used for the week was 2 yards, and no new fabric was added to the stash.

I used that vegetable fabric about 30 years ago to back a signature quilt for my father when he turned 60. We asked the extended family to create a 10" square however they wanted and then I joined them all with sashing and backed it with veggies since he was a gardener. It resides in my closet now. Your stack and whack blocks gave me an idea of how to use an "ugly" piece of fabric from my mother's stash. Thank you for a good trip down memory lane today!
