One Block Wonder
A one block wonder has kaleidoscope blocks, usually a hexagon, but could also be a square or octagon. the blocks are pieced together without other fabrics separating them, so they blend together.
Instructions
- Select fabric. The design should be on the large side…small designs do not work well. You will need enough fabric to get six repeats of the fabric. I usually get six to seven yards to have sufficient fabric to use as boarder sashing. I also purchase an addition plain fabric to frame the blocks.
- Cut the repeats (total of six).
- Align to repeats.
- Cut the fabric into strips (3.75 wide).
- Cut the strips into triangles (60 ° triangle).
- Constructing the blocks.
- Sort and design.
- Number and pin the rows.
- Joining the rows.
- Even up the sides.
- Finishing touches.

| Instructor Bio: | I started quilting in 2017 after retiring. My first quilt was a queen size disappearing nine patch which I found the design on Pinterest. I thought I can do this! So, I ventured out to the internet to find videos to teach me about this quilting adventure that I was embarking on. By far my most favorite quilt to make is the one block wonder. No two one block wonders are same. It looks complicated but is rather simple. I am excited to have the opportunity to share what I have learned about making this quilt with others. |
