I agree--I am not a big fan of the one block quilts, but yours is truly beautiful. I like the idea of it having some definition with the yellow blocks "floating" through your design.

Oma, I'm not sure it is in the tutorials, but Cutebuns had several posts for the OBW:

selecting fabric

cutting
http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-35685-1.htm

assembling

layout

I might have missed one of her posts, but these will get you started.
Enjoy!

I think that is how the fabric is cut--lengthwise. (See the links to the tutorials from cutebuns I posted above.) I had 2 yards of fabric. I cut it down the center and used just one half because I didn't want to make a huge OBW for my first one. I used part of the second half for part of the backing and have just a little of the original fabric left.
