MM has 2 rulers on her page.Is the small or large 60 degree ruler? is needed for a OBW? Thanks

This is a photo of a One Block Wonder that I made for my daughter's birthday in 2008. The book is by Maxine Rosenthal and I thought her directions and her samples were very helpful.

It's basically a stack and whack that is made by carefully placing 6 layers of the same fabric on top of each other so that the motifs all line up identically on all 6 layers.

I used the Sara Nephew 60 degree ruler to cut mine.
You just cut the triangles, and you get 6 identical triangles from the 6 layers. When you fan them out, you get this kaleidoscope effect. You sew them together in rows, not in hexagons, so no tricky corner seams. Pretty easy.

I was able to get 6inch 60 clearview for a friend and my self at the Hersey PA show.

OMG I was at Hershey too and loved it! I met a bunch of nice gals from Ontario on Sunday as we were waiting for the rain and hailstorm to let up.

Can you tell I'm still looking thru the OBW posts? LOL Fabric ordered,so next is the ruler.Thanks for the info.

If you need a ruler mine came from
www.aliciasattic.com
my ruler says you can make a pattern called Downtown does anyone have a pic of this?
Thanks Gale

I liked doing it and I thought it was easy to sew. But wow, it is really hard to decide which goes where, once you get them done. I had the pieces on the design wall for almost a month, playing, switching, looking again, moving the pieces all around. I still call it OBW but I think of it as OBSESSIVE Block Wonder, not One Block Wonder!

Easy ? I'll hold you to it...LOL I've been known to jump in & make a quilt top, then interest lags.Right now,thinking of a sofa throw & couple pillow covers.
:D :D

Here's a partial picture of it with instructions - http://www.hgtv.com/crafting/downtown-quilt/index.html
