Well yes, of course.....I was busy!!

I was wondering if someone can tell me do you wash your fabric first when you do an OBW? I was going to but then I thought what if it didn't shrink evenly then I wouldn't be able to line it up right? Any help, comments, or explaination would be greatly appreciated.

No don't wash it. You want the sizing in it to make it easier to work with. Makes it easier to stack, cut and sew. |

Which book did you choose? I went with the OBW cubed and think I should have started with a basic book first since I've never done one before

It is a little confusing and I have decided to order the first book also. I always seen to think I can do all the fancy stuff and skip the basic. This time I need to start with the basic.

They have all three on Amazon.com but I only bought the first one. But I have trouble following directions some times anyway, so maybe it will be okay for you.
