OBW = One Block Wonder
There are two books on the pattern: "One- Block Wonders" by Maxine Rosenthal and "One- Block Wonders Encore" by Maxine and Joy Pelzmann. There's another book coming out in April titled: "One -Block Wonders Cubed". Basically you make either hexagons or octagons, which fit together to form your quilt top. They are usually made from one fabric print, but you can use different prints too. The way you cut them and sew together makes the finished blocks look like a kaleidoscope.
