So I've been eyeing everyones OBW's and I really wanted to try it! So I found the book by Maxine Rosenthal and It was so helpful...plus reading some tips on here makes it easier!

It is soooo much fun to put together though!! I can see more of these in my future definitly. This one once I finish it I think I'll keep for myself :)

Very pretty!

OMG, how beautiful. I got that book too and just bought some fabric to try. My material is kind of muted, a black base with cream and gold paisley with a 24" repeat.

I hope it's easier than it looks. I think I'm slightly confused about the initial cuts on the repeat and after. Obviously putting the hexagons together looks easy, but the prep work to line everything up looks intimidating.

so pretty! :P

The hardest part for me was just getting all the fabric layers to line up. I realized I need to get some flat head pins tomorrow b/c my pins with the ball on top were making it harder for me! And the repeats are pretty easy...just find a spot that sticks out to you and use that as your guideline...cut that same spot each time and there ya go!

Beautiful!

Really beautiful. I would keep it too.

Good choice of fabric and some great blocks. Please share your progress with us for our own inspiration.

Terrific fabric choice. Keep us updated on your progress

That's beautiful. Keep going and keep us posted.

Amazing! I'm always amazed at home when I see the fabric and how it really turns out. Nice choice of fabric.

I LOVE that fabric! Looks like a fun pattern, too.

I'm sorry......what's an OBW? It looks neat though!

OBW is definitely on my TO DO list!

you are tempting me to add OBW to my growing list of I wanna...

One Block Wonders....type of stack & Whack - like the picture.

I started one today, but I am winging it. I will get the book though, because yours is gorgeous.

I have that same fabric and have been planning on using it for a OBW. Great minds think alike! I'm glad to see it works out so well.

Beautiful! Love the fabric - it is really bright and happy. What a great choice for an OBW :)

:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Oh wow, that is beautiful!! I really like what you've done so far, perfect fabric and really pretty results! :thumbup: :thumbup:

very nice can you do it with out the book do you need special ruller

Very cool! Love these quilts and yours is great.

I am using the one block wonder book by maxine rosenthal which is super helpful with the pictures. I just used my plain 8 1/2 x 24 inch ruler...but you do need a 60 degree angle marked on there :)

Very inspirational!! Must start looking for suitable fabric to have a go!!! Yours is looking great!!

Looking great so far, can't wait to see more.

So lovely!

I bought fabric yesterday to try a obw......yours is beautiful. Look forward to seeing the finished project

So pretty. I have to try it when I find my book. Just don't know where I put it

absolutely amazing! One day I'll be brave enough to give this a try

We did One Block Wonder quits at a weekend retreat. So easy and we went around looking at each others quilts in fascination! Its amazing to see the different patterns. Thanks for including the photo of the original fabric. We were told to bring fabric we really would never have chosen: colorful, large print, very busy, something we would say "Eeeeuuuuuu" to and not buy. But thats where the fun starts. Would I do a OBW again? Already have :)

Love it! I have a new fabric to OBW...I can't believe how addicting this pattern is!

Those are some of the prettiest colors I have ever seen for an OBW. Can't wait to see the whole quilt.

I'm a newbie...what is OBW?

Lucymae--One Block Wonder. :wink:

They are just mesmerizing! I love looking at them when posted and love it when we can see the original fabric. They look way too scary for me to make. :lol:

that is awesome. Can't wait to see it finished. I just got the book and am still trying to pick the right fabric for it.

Beautiful blocks, cant wait to see more :D:D:D
