Where can I buy a one block Wonder panel?

When I saw this panel I just had to make a One Block Wonder (OBW). The Tree of Wisdom fabric line was designed by Kerry Darlington for Northcott Fabrics. Tree of Wisdom can be found at your local quilt shop and at Keepsake Quilting. When I approach making a OBW using panels, the first thing I want to know is how wide the panel is.

How big of a block do you need for one block wonders?

You only need the Cyclone Technique Sheet and a Tucker Trimmer I. You can make this block in 9 sizes from 4″ to 12″. This block is fun and easy. You don’t have to match up seams!

How do you trim cyclones in one block wonders?

Start to create your design layout, then add the corners to the octagons & cyclones. You trim the cyclone block the same as the octagons but ONLY trimming the edges that will have corner stitched to them as with the octagon blocks.

How do you make a block out of strips?

Step 1 – Piece your strips together in the order shown on the technique sheet. Pressing the seams open gives you a flatter block in the end. Your strip set should measure the “Unfinished Strip Set Width” in the chart. Step 2 – Sub-cut your strips sets into squares using the “Unfinished Set Width” from the chart.

What kind of ruler to use for one block Wonder?

Cutting 3-1/2″ strips of the six repeats across the 18″ width of the panel. I use the Clearview Triangle 12″ 60 degree ruler to cut my triangles. I prefer this ruler as it has the point at the top which makes the triangles easier to line up when sewing them together.

How did I test my one block Wonder layout?

Testing out layout options before sewing took place at the machine before stitching the pairs together. Testing the layout for orientation before sewing pairs together, string piecing through the whole stack.
