Farm Quilter. hmm. Perhaps subsequent books just have you cut the fabric & take whatever happens. (hopefully, magic, if the right fabric has been chosen.) In my stack & whack book, you select fabric that has a huge, varied print. Then you layer six pcs exactly on the pattern. Then you fussy cut at the places you want your medallion (pinwheel, star, etc) (4 sq would be 4 layers) I just thot those stamens would be wow, is all.
This is my understanding of SAW.
My understanding of OBW is, same fabric layering, but you just cut strips, then units, whether 1/6 hex, 1/6 pinwheel, or 4 sq, and take whatever happens. I guess that is also a SAW, just without the fussy cuts???
Going by my 1st definition, is why I thought the first fabric would have some WOW choices.
Just definitions. Not being dogmatic, or know it all. (I hope.)
Feel free to nudge me toward a more clear understanding. :mrgreen:
