This is a photo of a One Block Wonder that I made for my daughter's birthday in 2008. The book is by Maxine Rosenthal and I thought her directions and her samples were very helpful.

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.
