Repeat Revolution

Seldom does anything really revolutionary happen in quilting. New fabrics, new tools and new patterns certainly are constantly appearing. But whole new methods are extremely rare.

StackN Whack is such a method. It gave us a completely new way to look at fabric.
Bethany Reynolds literally wrote the book on the Stack And Whack technique. Bethany’s method has you utilizing the repeats of the fabric to cut repetitive motifs to use for fabulous effect in your quilt.

This quilt is inspired by her Hexagon Stars in her first book, Magic Stack And Whack Quilts. It’s a great book and I highly recommend it if you are interested in this method. Bethany does a great job explaining every facet of the technique.

My rendition of this method require six repeats of at least 15″.  If your repeat is shorter and you really love the fabric, use two repeats as one… but then you will need 12 repeats.
Repeat Revolution uses six repeats of a wonderful, colorful fabric and an equilateral triangle or 60 Degree Ruler. (Marti Michell makes such a ruler and it is available thru Amazon with this link – 2″ To 6″ 60 Degree Triangle Ruler Marti Michell 8962M or at Joann’s.

This is a totally fun quilt to make, easier than you might think and quite unpredictable! We will start our Repeat Revolution in early January here at LynBrown.com. So join us and start looking at fabrics in a whole new way!
