Hi winky, it stands for one block wonder - it's a quilt made from one block, either a hexagon made of 6 triangles or an octogan of 8 triangles, with corner filling squares made of 4 further triangles. The triangles are cut from identical strips of aligned fabric so each is exactly the same - also called stack n whack. The wonder comes from the beautiful effects that can be achieved using just one block and one fabric - as shown here by Jenell! :D
