STACK -n- WHACK - also known as Kaleidoscope quilts.  The method used to create these designs involve layering and cutting fabric repeats with a standard rotary cutter.  The resulting blocks are all unique.

PAPER PIECING - Foundation piecing that allow you to piece a block without templates or precise cutting.  The block is pre-numbered and it is this order that you will sew the block.  Each time you sew a seam, you trim the excess paper.  After all blocks are sewn and border is put on, paper is then taken off.
