I love Best Friends Quilt Shop! I missed the Big Birthday Sale. I had to work. I actually took the class for my avatar there. It was alot easier than I thought it would be.Did you get to go to International Quilt Show?

I'm sorry for my ignorance, but what does OBW mean? I can usually figure out most of the initials, but I see this one a lot.
thanks :!:

OBW = One Block Wonder from the technique by Maxine Rosenthal in her series of books bearing the same name. Check out the heading on the Topic List for more information, the topic list contains all threads of OBWs and stack n whacks posted here on the board. http://www.quiltingboard.com/virtual_section_list.jsp

You must buy the number of repeats the pattern calls for. Have the shop measure and count the repeats. Don't ask for a certain number of yards. You may be short on the last repeat.
