I've found sewing a OBW is the quickest way to make a quilt. Mine have gone together very fast and I especially love the excitement that happen when you first assemble a finished hexagon (pinned together). I also enjoy arranging the blocks into their final or ( maybe not), location. I do realize that some people don't care for them, but I love them. Isn't it great that we have so many different patterns to pick from. If you don't like making a OBW choose something else. A picture would be great, so we can see what you are talking about.
