    Oh I am so sorry...there has been so much talk of this I forgot that there may actually be newbies who haven't a clue!!

    It stands for ONE BLOCK WONDER...It's a technique mastered by Maxine Rosenthal, who has a few books out about it :-D

    I love the muted colors, and the way the tiny black outlines some of them. What a great choice . Still on my list of things to learn. One day I will get brave enough to cut one LOL.

    I must admit, I was so scared of cutting those panels, but no pain - no gain Ninnie!! I wasn't sure if the black outline was going to be a help or hindrance...but it does create a lot of interest on each of the blocks, I have been playing and rearranging the blocks on and off all blinking day...STILL not sure how to lay them all out, any help would be appreciated



    :wink: :-)

    Izy I love the one with the faces!! I didn't see that one before. I would have a hard time cutting the panels up too! My granddaughter would love the panel just the way it is before you cut it. It makes me think of fairy stories I read as a child.

    Hmmmm Izy..you are doing the right thing..arrange..walk away, come back, re-arrange...I did that for the longest time on the border that I made. The panel really made for a hard one to arrange, but it is very unique too...I love the faces..the one next to it..the darker orange looking...it seems to need to go somewhere else though....its too dark next to the faces I think. :D
