I want to get the OBW book(s) to make the quilt. I am interested in cubes too.
My question is, do I need to buy all three books or would just the last one have everything I need to know to make the quilt. I was reading some of the reviews on Amazon, and some mentioned that there is a lot of redundant information.
For those of you who have one or all of the books, what would you recommend?
Thanks in advance.

Once youve done it, it's easy/peasy. there's also tuts here. don't waste money on the book whgen you can spend it on fabric. i looked at the books and went home and did it. good luck

Thanks all for the suggestions. I am a bit of a book junkie, LOL. love collecting them. My library doesn't have much selection of quilting books on hand (especially newer ones), although I can "order" one for them to get from other libraries in the state.

I have the first two books and haven't bought the cube yet. I would not have been able to do it without and don't have a library I can use. Nearest library is city and they won't let the county people use it. They don't have many good books anyway.
