They are both lovely. But what is an OBW - even if this one isn't. :D
One Block Wonder from the technique described by Maxine Rosenthal in her books of the same name. Same technique as stack n whack but different in that the blocks are laid out without sashing. Have a look here at the description by the Topic List for these quilts. http://www.quiltingboard.com/virtual_section_list.jsp

Again, I'm sorry if I seem pedantic but misuse of these terms only leads to confusion. :? :-)
