I started with Magic Stack-n-Whack Quilts by Bethany Reynolds, which I separated with background and sashing. Then I heard about OBWs and bought the first book by Maxine Rosenthal. Then I saw one somewhere with the panel in it and was determined to learn how to do that. Mostly it was trial and error and observing other similar quilts on several Facebook groups that specialize in these. I haven't looked for them, but I'm sure there's a YouTube tutorial somewhere! The hexies are so much fun. The labor comes from figuring out the placement. I about wear them out moving them around on my design wall.
