I think you are confusing one block wonders with stack and whack. OBW is not fussy cut. You line up all the layers and cut it all, then you arrange it by the colors each one turned out as. There is almost no fabric waste (just the end of the strips that didn't end up in triangles)

Maureen-I could be wrong, but I don't think Dunster's quilt was made with the 60 degree ruler? I believe your ruler is for the one block wonder type quilt....hopefully someone who knows will chime in! I found a copy of Quilts Quilts Quilts (Used) for $4 (with shipping!) on amazon....

Gotta love the QB. Almost every question is able to be answered fairly quickly. So much knowledge and expertise, and willingness to share.
Dunster, I do not remember seeing this particular quilt before, but it's a beauty.

Thank you for remembering my kaleidoscope quilt. It was one of my earliest quilts, and I like it more now than when I first made it. (Strange how that happens, isn't it?) I found patterns in several books - can't remember which one I used. Try Encyclopedia of Classic Quilt Patterns (a Leisure Arts Presents book) or Quilts! Quilts!! Quilts!!! by Diana McClu and Laura Nownes. This picture was taken on the design wall before the quilt was quilted.

I just finished a quilt made using the 60 degree triangle ruler from Eleanor Burns, and my own design. It all started when I found fabric covered in starlight mints. You could just google kaliedoscope quilts for inspiration for color choices. I love what Dunster did with hers. Same pattern, but oh so different results.
