I have wanted to do this!
If I may tag along to ask a question: If I see a beautiful fabric suitable for OBW, how many yards should I buy - for lap quilt, twin and queen size? Thanks:) |
Right...after arranging the 4little triangles, and putting them in Place on your design wall, sew each triangle to the corner the octagon ....completing a square....tedious, but then sew the rows together is easy....I have made a dozen or so obw...both hexagon and octogenarian....it's my most favorite of all because of the surprises

Thanks:) The book does lay out how much you need for each quilt size. Six repeats of an 8"-repeat fabric (1 1/3 yards) will make you enough blocks to make a lap sized quilt if you add a few borders. The book suggests, for more variety, to find a fabric with a longer repeat so that you have more blocks and many different blocks. |
