Fall in Love with One-Block Wonder
The One-Block Wonder quilt has a large, loyal fanbase, and for good reason. The cutting and stitching technique is fairly simple but produces art quilts that offer many opportunities to play with color and design. Many quiltmakers find that they can’t stop making them.
How It’s Done
In One-Block Wonder Panel Quilts, Maxine collaborates with fellow quilter Nancy Miller to share ideas for making One-Block Wonder quilts from preprinted fabric panels. If you have admired these quilts but haven’t started one of your own, this may be the time. What better excuse to buy 7 repeats of an interesting preprinted panel? Stack 6 of the panels, aligning the repeats in the design, then cut strips and sub-cut 60 triangles. You will end up with sets of 6 matching triangles; sew them together in threes to make a pair of half-hexagons from each set.
Where the Magic Comes in
The magic comes when you arrange the hexagons—there are any number of possible designs, and no two quilts look alike even if you choose the same fabric as another quilter. Put the seventh panel right on the front of the quilt, arranging the colors and designs of the hexagons around it to complement and emphasize the strongest parts of the panel artwork. Experiment with block placement until you produce a design that you like.
