It's importand to count your repeats...You will need 6 repeats, and if the fabric has a 24 inch repeat that will already require 4 yards. In this case I would go with 5 yards.

you'll find the board's Topic List. Look down to the one for OBWs, Stack n Whack and Kaleidoscope Quilts and there's a brief overview of the different kinds. If you click there on the heading, it will take you to a list of all the pictures ppl have posted here on the board of their finished tops and quilts. :-D

Stack n Whacks can be made with one or more different fabrics in the same quilt.
One Block Wonders (OBW) on the other hand are hexagons using identical stacked repeats of the one fabric all joined together without sashing or other fabric between the blocks.
I hope that makes sense :?
