One Block Wonder is the name given to her quilts by Maxine Rosenthal, and the blocks are placed side by side, filling all spaces. One Block Wonder quilts have a more kaleidoscopic look to them. If you Google both kinds, you should be able to see examples that will give you a good idea of the minor differences.

Thank you for this, I have been 'wondering' about them.

I designed in the entire quilt in QuiltPro. I couldn't come up with a layout I liked for the number of blocks I had cut out so I started playing with a hexagon quilt. It measures about 65" from edge to edge. This is the size I like to make the quilts I make to gift. This one is for my niece.
