Oh yea. and then some. I bought a whole bolt of these one time. So, I can make several. I gave my sister one of them. she might want more when I show her what I did. she has a large room that is devoted to western and southwestern stuff. It is amazing!!

I will have to get the directions on OBW and give it try.
(I have now idea what OBW is duuuh)

Lowell ;):)

OBW's are very easy to make. You just stack your fabic or panels (6 pieces) on top of each other where they are exactly the same. You can find repeats in fabrics and cut accordingly. then just mark off or cut 60 degree triangles the size you want. I think I used 4 inches on these. Cut them out. And sew together three at a time. then sew those together to forn you hexagon. Good luck!!

I love how your blocks are turning out!
There is a really good tutorial here on OBW. One of the ladies used a panel - it would certainly make it easy to find your repeats ;)
