    Default One Block Wonder Panel question

    Hello everyone,
    I have made a hexagon based one block wonder using seven panels (one for the centre, the remaining six for the hexagons to surround it).
    I have two different panels that I wish to make a OBW based on the four patch version surrounding a centre panel again.

    If my panels measure around 23" x 43" approximately, what size strip/square would you folks think be a good size?

    Thanks in advance for any advice and suggestions

    I just finished a 4PP using regular fabric, last week!
    For me, I look at the size of the print in the fabric.
    Small print ... smaller poseys! Larger print ... larger poseys!
    The one I just did, was a floral print, not overly large.
    So, I cut at 2-1/2" and got a good variety of kaleidoscope effects in the poseys.

    For your panels ... If you cut it smallish.... are you going to see any kaleido design form?
    Remember, the larger you go, the fewer 4PP you will get, to do your layout.

    Good Luck!! ... will look forward to see how yours turn out.

    I think I'd use 6" blocks, and then 'fudge' a bit, to fit. 6x4=24, and 6x7=42. Pretty close.
