    It really is not hard to do! It is all joined together in strips. The cutting takes more time than any other part of it. The books on OBWs are excellent and explicit and easy to follow.

    One Block Wonder - there are 3 books by Maxine Rosenthal explaining the method. Basically lining up 6 repeats of the fabric pattern, cutting 60 deg triangles and joining together in rows - no Y seams - to form hexagons.

    Katrine,
    Thanks for the explanation, and LOVE those two cute pups looking out at me as I read your response.

    This quilt is wonderful. You say you are going to do a more difficult one? That's more than my brain can absorb. Remeber to post pictures.
