One Block Wonder for Christmas
 
Well, today I cut the blocks for the One Block Wonder. All triangles have been cut. Tonight I lay out the hexagons to see which direction they look best before I start sewing on Friday.

Post pictures when you're done.

And remember not to sew the hexagons completely together! Sew 2 sections of three triangles each, then join them when you put the whole top together.

I usually make the decision about which way to orient the triangles while I'm doing the sewing. After sewing, I sometimes tape the two halves of the hexagons together, just to make it easier to put on the design wall.

Is this your first OBW, lyndaj? I've done one and plan to do another.

This is actually my third OBW. This one is very purple.

Great. I think it's so much fun to see how many different kalidoscopes can be made from the fabric. Look forward to seeing it when you're done.
