I'm bach from JoAnn's fabric store. I got a total of 7 repeats. They didn't have the book or ruler. I also found another beautiful fabric , they only had 4 repeats of it. I had seen it used in a OBW on the board. Oh , and best of all , I used a 50% off coupon !!!!!!!!!

I had better luck using my regular ruler lining up the 60 degree mark than I with a specialty ruler. Line up 60 degree mark on the straight edge and make your cut, then rotate to get the other side.(Easier to do than to describe, try on paper first with an old blade in your cutter or on scrap/ugly fabric!)

Love the fabric. This is going to sound stupid, but I'm a somewhat new quilter. What is an OBW?

No, unfortunately, I didn't get to the Int. Quilt Show. I agree about Best Friends Quilt Shop. They had some great sample quilts up Sunday. I didn't know about the class for your avatar quilt. Great job.

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

And that fabric is gorgeous! :-D
