Deer in My Headlights

I have been intrigued with the one block wonder for awhile now.

This technique takes a repeat in a fabric 

and 

stacks it on top of each one 6 times.

Then you cut into 60 degree wedges.

You take those identical wedges and sew them back together.

Is that as clear as mud??

I have seen a few now where they used panels.

I went to my favorite local quilt shop..

Pleasant Pheasant Fabrics

in

 Crosby, North Dakota

(we are soooo lucky to have her!!)

This panel was 2$!!!!

I needed 3 panels as I planned on stacking this little stud

to 

make my stack and whack blocks...

And making this one - my main man...

This is my trial version of a stack and whack/ one block wonder.

 For 6$ I have nothing to lose!!

There are 3 possible ways to sew these blocks

 so

 playing around is half the fun

These next two photos are the same stack but different placement!!

Thank goodness for phones so a person can take a pic

 and

 spin them again and see what one you like best

The possibilities are endless....

Next I started to lay them out around this stag!

When I came up with a layout I was good with,

I sewed them together and machine basted the center in.

I will hand applique around the center panel.

I plan to bind it with all the wonky sides.

Stay tuned...

I may get fed up and cut it all off!!
