Okay I finally decided to try out the OBW (one block wonder). I took a yard of really obnoxious fabric, found the repeat (or as close to a repeat as this fabric had) and started cutting my triangles. But when putting them together I realized that I had used the wrong triangle tool. The one I used was not 60 degrees, probably more like 55 degrees.
Bugger!!! Going out today to buy a 60degree triangle. I'm sure I can figure out a way to usae all these triangles I just cut, they just won't be a OBW. Luckily I had only used 1 yard of fabric since thid was more of a test than a quilt. |
Love your avitar! Sorry about your cutting mistake - I have a few of them myself!
|
i'd cut those down to 45 degrees and use them. no waste!
|
So, does the fabric look better since you cut it up?!
|
how can you do a OBW with just one yard of fabric. Don't you need at least 4 repeats.

Im confused too. I've never been able to do a OBW with less than 2 yards. (12" repeats is the smallest I've ever seen, needing 6 sets of the repeats = 72" of fabric) Would love to know how to get some blocks out of just one yard though. Please share that tidbit.
