So here I am finding myself deciding to do a OBW for a Christmas present. I really don’t have time for this, but I guess I work well under pressure? Anyway, I found this fabric on the sale rack at Olde City Quilt Shop in Burlington, NJ, where I had visited to attend a Kaffe...

Pictures - My One Block Wonder quilt - Since I've seen for first time a month ago an One Block Wonder quilt, I felt very intrigued about it.

Whack and stack quilt – one block wonder – Sewn Up

I'm using this book as a guideline to making my own one-block wonder quilt. The book has pretty clear instructions, and the photo illustrations are really good. The technique isn't new by any means (anybody remember Stack and Whack by Bethany Reynolds?!) and it uses a ton of fabric, but at least it's just ONE fabric.

I have a new quilting obsession... Making One Block Wonders with panels or border print-type panels and incorporating an uncut panel into the overall layout! I had already made three different One Block Wonder quilts and have a new mini-OBW in the works. What made this quilt top different started when I recently joined the One Block Wonder Forum group on Facebook. I noticed members posting that they were using panels instead of just multiple repeats of print yardage, which sounded very…
