I'm wanting to make a OBQ .What brand 60degree
ruler do you use? Someone posted they used one that left all the points
cut off, so they ended up with a hole in the center of their blocks.

I'd be so lost if that happened! Have fabric ordered & need to find the 1st book,plus the right type ruler. Thanks for any info.

Pat, Kathryn is travelling at the moment - but the book recommends the Clearview 6" 60degree triangle - and I know she uses that one because she asked me where I got mine from.

Yes that's right. If you check out the link (in blue top left of the page) it will take you to a topic list dedicated to OBWs, kaleidoscopes and stack n whack. A look through some of those threads should tell you all you need to know. :-D

I have your doggie fabric ...used for a couple dogs in the family but would never have thought to use it for a OBW....It's really great !!!

Back to why I am writing...
I have bought the book, bought three different fabrics, and really want to do one .........BUT........
the book is on the shelf, the fabric in the closet and I am beside myself with wondering (good work to use here !!!!) if I would be able to do this pattern.

Is it very difficult? I will bring all the prep to Florida with me when I leave in a couple weeks and will make myself accept this challenge.

I will have all the time while there for the winter and should be able to accomplish something.....hopefully, a OBW.

Again, you quilts are beautiful.......

MaryJane.......from NJ......right along the Atlantic coast.

I wrote that post on December 9th.....LAST YEAR.....and the fabric is still folded and the book still unopened, and I am still wondering about being able to accomplish an OBW........

I again brought all with me to work on this winter so I will see what I get done this year......!!!!!!!!!
