Thanks, everyone, for your replies. Rvsfan, the book tells you how to cut the fabric and construct the hexagons. It also gives you assistance in placing your blocks, i.e., put the blocks that look similar into a pile and use those piles as an artist uses different paint colors, as your pallet, in other words. There are also many pictures of completed OBW to give you ideas, but there is no "pattern" as such, because each different fabric will give you differing numbers of similar blocks, etc. When I got to the "okay, the blocks are all in piles, now what" stage, it was a little overwhelming, but trial and error is a great teacher.
