So, after seeing all the fabulous quilts that you guys have made with the one block wonder...I went out and bought some fabric cuz I just have to try it. The fabric is loud and obnoxious and nothing I would really use anywhere else...can't wait!
I tried searching one block wonder hoping for a tutorial...but haven't been able to find one...any suggestions? How do I do this block? I am really excited to start!
Thanks for any help you can give!

Take a look at this link. Cutebuns did a great job of leading us all by the hand through this adventure. Hope this helps.

Guess I could give you the link too.

Find your repeats, nick the selvege, rip the fabric and start stacking it. Pin thru all x layers and be sure to pin so that each cut piece will be exactly the same. Then you get out the triangle ruler and start slicing.

The pinning must be done VERY well to get good matching points, and it is the longest part of the process.

Post some pics!

That link was PERFECT! Cutebuns has done such a good job so far. I think it makes perfect sense! I am hoping to start cutting soon!! I think I might actually go back and get more of the fabric just in case three yards isn't enough. Very exciting!
Lord knows the last thing I need is another project...but here I goooooo!!!

I want to learn to make one of those too. but have to wait a great while. just cant buy fabric. but there is a lady on the board here that showed everyone how to do it. good luck and post it when your done. Penny

You can actually use just a little piece of fabric as long as you can find 6 repeats on it, there are some that have made doll quilts or wall hangings,


If you need any more help just yell, feel free to pm me if I don't see it,

Here is the fabric I bought. Isn't it wonderful? I hope it will make good OBW blocks. :)

Did you purchase the book? It is really helpful. There are two, try for the first one.

I love that fabric. good choice of fabric. Penny

I just bought the same fabric yesterday to do my first OBW! Great minds think alike. I can't wait to start it.

RatherB Quilting 03-16-2010 02:44 PM

EllaBud! You have to show me pics when you get started!! :)

EllaBud 03-16-2010 02:48 PM

Will do--but it might take a few weeks to start it. I have 3 other things I just have to finish first. You know how that is, I'm sure.
