My ruler was a Marti Mitchell http://www.frommarti.com/mm5/merchan...ategory_Code=R I used the method in One Block Wonders by Maxine Rosethal.

It's basically a stack and whack that is made by carefully placing 6 layers of the same fabric on top of each other so that the motifs all line up identically on all 6 layers.
I used the Sara Nephew 60 degree ruler to cut mine.
You just cut the triangles, and you get 6 identical triangles from the 6 layers. When you fan them out, you get this kaleidoscope effect. You sew them together in rows, not in hexagons, so no tricky corner seams. Pretty easy.

Easy ? I'll hold you to it...LOL I've been known to jump in & make a quilt top, then interest lags.Right now,thinking of a sofa throw & couple pillow covers.
I liked doing it and I thought it was easy to sew. But wow, it is really hard to decide which goes where, once you get them done. I had the pieces on the design wall for almost a month, playing, switching, looking again, moving the pieces all around. I still call it OBW but I think of it as OBSESSIVE Block Wonder, not One Block Wonder!
:D :D
