Just a note... when I bought fabric going by guidelines on here, I bought 4 yds.Must say, it's according to repeats & how big of a quilt you want.I made a doz & never sewed them together.Think the fabric gave me a headache :-) from wondering what I'd do with it once done?

Here are all 3 books on Amazon. The first one shows the hollow cubes but does not have any information on how to make them. I bought the first book before the other two came out, but figured out the cubes on my own. I think that all 3 contain the basic directions for selecting fabric, cutting, and sewing the quilts, so if I were buying just one today I would probably buy the last one.

The third book is the one I just got and it does give the basics in it also. I've never made a OBW and the instructions do seem easy to follow.

I'm jealous, I have been searching for just the right fabric to do a OBW and haven't found the fabric that talks to me yet, that one talks LOUD, it is perfect. We now have the before picture PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE post pictures of the during and after.
