Is there a tutorial for the OBW??
What kind of ruler do you use for this?
I've been admiring the OBW quilts and would like to try one myself, so need a little help. THANKS!

Member "cutebuns" has done a OBW tutorial in parts. You should be able to find it under her postings.

Yup there is a tute called tip type through the hexagons cutie style. ( http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-35685-1.htm )
Also I used the book " One Block Wonders" or "One Block Wonders Encore" by Maxine Rosenthal. Makes it very easy to understand.

You need either a 60 degree triangle ruler..the one I use us called the super 60 clearview ruler by Sara Nephew. Or if you have a regular straight ruler with the 60 degree angle marks.

They are very fun and addicting! Good luck!

Which book is best for the beginner? Thanks, Mary

I got the "One Block Wonder" book...the first one and it explains everything. All the basics...how to pick out fabric, how much to get, and goes through all the steps you need to begin! Id start with that one

Thanks amma and everyone for your help.
I know it will be addictive as I have done the 4 patch stack & whack and love that one.
Again thanks to all

I have all three, and I IMO, Encore is the one to have.
