The stack and wacks looks like it would be a fun one to try

Thanks for clearing this up for me. I wondered about OBW. Now I understand. Thanks for sharing.

Press all the seams open as you sew them.

I always get 5 yards...that way I have enough in case of an error or something disaster..or borders .... or stash..

It's importand to count your repeats...You will need 6 repeats, and if the fabric has a 24 inch repeat that will already require 4 yards. In this case I would go with 5 yards.

Magic, I don't know how you did this, can't even begin to work it out looking at it, but it is beautiful.

Is this the same as the kalidascope (sp) that I see advertised sometimes on this site? I am refering to Quilter7X. I love your fabric and how it goes together.

If you go here
http://www.quiltingboard.com/virtual_section_list.jsp

you'll find the board's Topic List. Look down to the one for OBWs, Stack n Whack and Kaleidoscope Quilts and there's a brief overview of the different kinds. If you click there on the heading, it will take you to a list of all the pictures ppl have posted here on the board of their finished tops and quilts. :-D

Stack n Whacks can be made with one or more different fabrics in the same quilt.

One Block Wonders (OBW) on the other hand are hexagons using identical stacked repeats of the one fabric all joined together without sashing or other fabric between the blocks.

I hope that makes sense :?
I have used several different fabric prints in one OBW quilt tho. I think that's up to you, if you want to have more than one print. Typically they are one print, but don't have to be. I've seen where the prints are the same, but just different colors.
