Great job on redoing this wonderful tute. Cutebuns did an awesome job to start with and you have helped by making it more concise. Hugs and smiles for you both!!!

Great tutorial and I really want to try this. However, I wish the tutorial opened with advice on how best to select fabric and how much fabric is required.
It looks like high yardage count is required. Deep into the tutorial there is reference to "2.5 yards of each fabric".
I doubt I have 2.5 yards of any one fabric.
What's the minimum yardage required to make a successful OBW?
Thanks.

For example if the repeat length is 12" then you need 72" which is 2 yards. That's just for the hexagons, you need more for the binding, etc.

Fireworkslover, Thanks so much; that's exactly what I needed-- although I'm also curious about what kind of thinking goes into fabric/pattern selection.
Also, how much yardage waste is there? And what kind? I.e., what does the "left over" look like?

This implies that one can make an OBW with some other shape(s). Please say more... ;-)
