Oh no, it looks like I need to add another project to my LONG list!

Instead of six layers, you have four. They are really simple as you can see from the pic.

gaigai ----l LOVE that fabric and it is making gorgeous blocks!!!!

The ...loonee part fits too often I'm afraid. :roll:
The four patch posie is simply stacking four layers of material - pinning the same way you would any stack n whack - cutting strips of a specific width (anywhere from 1.5" to about 4.5" depending on the size of the fabric pattern) on the WOF; then cutting the strips into squares. And once you have your little stack of 4 identical pieces you get the fun of laying out and determining which pattern you like best because the four corners give you four options! This works best on a material that the repeatThey make wonderful centers to almost any block - log cabin, attic square, Ohio star, etc.
I usually don't go much bigger than 4.5" (which makes a 9" unfinished block) because the material pattern comes through too strongly and you start to lose the effect of what the cut can do.
Please feel free to ask any more questions as I may not have given the best instructions.
Enjoy!

.....now maybe I should finish the part about the repeat on the four patch posie.....LOL
the repeat should be bigger than 12" and I have the most fun with those that are closer to 24" repeats!
Sorry I didn't finish my thought the first time!

Juneeloonee - thanks for that! I'm definitely going to give it a go. I've done the 6 repeat version but I like the idea of these as a centre to a block like a log cabin. Thanks for adding to my list! :? :lol:

They are beautiful!! I HAVE to do one of these OBW. So, the blocks are 6 triangles set together? I am trying to find the book, One Block Wonders Encore by Mavine Rosenthal in some of the used bookstore online. Then, I'm going to add "one more project started" to my list!
