So, after seeing all the fabulous quilts that you guys have made with the one block wonder...I went out and bought some fabric cuz I just have to try it. The fabric is loud and obnoxious and nothing I would really use anywhere else...can't wait!
I tried searching one block wonder hoping for a tutorial...but haven't been able to find one...any suggestions? How do I do this block? I am really excited to start!
Thanks for any help you can give!

Find your repeats, nick the selvege, rip the fabric and start stacking it. Pin thru all x layers and be sure to pin so that each cut piece will be exactly the same. Then you get out the triangle ruler and start slicing.
The pinning must be done VERY well to get good matching points, and it is the longest part of the process.
Post some pics!

That link was PERFECT! Cutebuns has done such a good job so far. I think it makes perfect sense! I am hoping to start cutting soon!! I think I might actually go back and get more of the fabric just in case three yards isn't enough. Very exciting!
Lord knows the last thing I need is another project...but here I goooooo!!!

You can actually use just a little piece of fabric as long as you can find 6 repeats on it, there are some that have made doll quilts or wall hangings,
If you need any more help just yell, feel free to pm me if I don't see it,
