What does OBW mean in UNCLASSIFIED

A One Block Wonder quilt is a type of patchwork quilt composed of a single block repeated multiple times. It uses the same fabric for each block and the finished product has an interesting and unique design.

The amount of fabric you will need depends on the size of the quilt you are making and how large your blocks are. Generally, if you are using yardage, you will need twice as much in length as width (for example, 4 yards by 8 yards) plus an extra yard for sashing and borders.

This project works best with fabric that contains some pattern variation, like batiks or slightly tinted fabrics that have a subtle tone-on-tone effect. Generally, it's best to avoid prints with large amounts of white space as they can get lost within the quilt design.

Yes! When piecing directional fabric together it's important to pay attention to which way each piece is oriented in order to create a balanced look in your quilt top. Additionally, if you plan on using directional fabrics be sure to pick up enough yardage so that all pieces can be cut out in opposite directions.

Absolutely! You can choose different types or colors of fabrics to make each repetition unique while still maintaining an overall cohesive look throughout the entire quilt. Just be sure that any print or directionally focused fabrics are all cut consistently with each other!

The size of your blocks will largely depend on personal preference - some people like smaller blocks while other prefer larger ones. Make sure that whatever size you choose gives your finished quilt plenty of interest without being too busy or overwhelming when viewed from far away.

When measuring whether your block is accurate, use a ruler and keep an eye out for any points sticking out beyond their intended measurements (these could become stretched out when attaching the next piece). If there is any discrepancy adjust accordingly until the points line up perfectly and press with steam before continuing.

It's important not only that your seams line up but also that they are pressed flat after assembly - this will ensure consistency across all of the blocks as well as clean lines in your final piece. If there is any discrepancy adjust accordingly until everything lines up perfectly before pressing onto another.

Specialty tools such as rotary cutters, rulers and cutting mats can help speed up the process but aren't mandatory - scissors, pins and an iron work just fine too! Additionally, it can help increase accuracy if pieces are labeled prior to assembly so make sure you know where each piece should go before picking them up
