Mary, OBW stands for One Block Wonder. You take fabric and cut six pieces according to the pattern repeat, layer them so they are PRECISELY lined up according to the pattern (the book explains how), then cut strips, and then from the strips cut equilateral triangles. Then a block is made from six identical triangles. Each block is identical, but looks very different from the others. So, you have one fabric, one block, but a very interesting quilt! It's fun turning and rearranging the blocks to get different effects.
