I made a OBW but it is unfinished need to put on borders and finish. UFO. I love it. Will do another one but I am moving soon and packing and my spouse is very ill. I have made a 3x5 card index of UFO and will pull from it when I have time and finish the item picked. What to do what to do. the OBW even thought it is a wack n' stack is very easy to put together.

I bought the book and ruler last fall. So I need to find a fabric next. I've done the stack and whack several times. So I'm ready for this one.

If you have done a stack and wack, you are ahead, the OBW is just one type of stack and wack.

For those that have the book and possibly the ruler, and always wanted to try it, you may be interested.

For those that have always wanted to try and don't have the book, you may want to think about getting it now as there are a few of us that are planning on starting one.

Please tell me what the thread will be titled when you start your OBW discussion. I definitely do not want to miss out on it but I am going "cruising" for a week in February and won't be able to be online with the message board.

when you decide on the title please let me know.......either on this thread or PM me...so that I can check back if I miss it.....thanks, MaryJane (mjsylvstr)

I'm really full of questions tonight...what is the repeat that is needed for theOBW?

Does it matter or would you just have a smaller block with a wmaller repeat. I do love this pattern but have never attempted it...so there will probably be more questions.

THat is the book, and ask away, the larger the repeat the better but you can use a smaller one, it will help decide what size to cut your pieces. that is for sure.
