Stack n Whacks can be made with one or more different fabrics in the same quilt.

One Block Wonders (OBW) on the other hand are hexagons using identical stacked repeats of the one fabric all joined together without sashing or other fabric between the blocks.

I hope that makes sense :?
I have used several different fabric prints in one OBW quilt tho. I think that's up to you, if you want to have more than one print. Typically they are one print, but don't have to be. I've seen where the prints are the same, but just different colors.
