The quilts: (from flickr)
WOW!!! I am dreaming of making one of these! The one block wonder is made from a single piece of fabric! Let me say that again - you only have to buy one piece of fabric to make these quilts. I couldn't believe it. I guess there is a lot of waste fabric because of how you have to cut the fabric, but from the looks of it, it is completely worth it. Plus, I always need new fabric for my stash! I finished my paintbox quilt this week -- I really need to take some pictures of it now. I, also, made two stained glass stars. I must take pictures!!!!!
There is almost no waste. The fabric is stacked in layers, matching the pattern printed on the fabric, then cut in strips, then the strips are cut into triangles, which are pieced together to create the blocks. The blocks are usually hexagons, but can be octagons or other shapes.
ReplyDeleteExactly! NO WASTE.
DeleteWow, just wrote a really long and awesome comment to you and it was erased when I had to sign into my gmail account to send. Frustrating. Wish I could remember everything I said.
ReplyDeleteI do have one question, what does it mean when someone is de-boning fabric?
ReplyDeleteYou only need one big print fabric. You need to buy the "One Block Wonder" book. The book answers all your questions and gives precise instructions on making this quilt. Great quilting quest!
ReplyDeleteWish you would put a piece of the uncut fabric next to the one block wonder.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the name of the original fabric of Mary's one block wonder quilt?
