Fabulous. I love how you have done the borders. Did you have a pattern or were they your own design.
Well done

One Block Wonder is the name given to her quilts by Maxine Rosenthal, and the blocks are placed side by side, filling all spaces. One Block Wonder quilts have a more kaleidoscopic look to them. If you Google both kinds, you should be able to see examples that will give you a good idea of the minor differences.

Thank you for this, I have been 'wondering' about them.

I designed in the entire quilt in QuiltPro. I couldn't come up with a layout I liked for the number of blocks I had cut out so I started playing with a hexagon quilt. It measures about 65" from edge to edge. This is the size I like to make the quilts I make to gift. This one is for my niece.
