Like the fabric a lot and the end result
is stunning. Just love the colors and
pattern of the resulting quilt.

I'll be looking for the answere as well. Did she use just one fabric or a combanation. I have never make an OBW, don't even know what the OBW stands for.

OBW = One Block Wonder

The idea of it is that you use one fabric, and cut one trianble block shape repetitively from six layers of fabric, stacked according to the repetitions. Then you sew them together and each of the six are identical because you have stacked them so. Each hex (six pieces) makes like a kaleidoscope and because each set are different, it varies.

Look around ... there's been lots of threads lately on this. Some have good pics of how it's done and tutorials. Also, read the 4-Patch Posey threads. Similar concepts.

This one is fantastic. Now I may never finish my OBW, because I know it won't be that pretty! (Just kidding - this is inspiration for me!)

Oh it turned out so pretty. This is same material my daughter picked out and we are 100 miles from each other so slow in progress. this truned out real beautiful and you should be proud of her, she did great job and I like the blocks going in the boarder. Very clever!
