These are the fabrics I requested to make a magical One Block Wonder (OBW). I will be using my Star 60 Tool to create some Hollow Cube 60’s and Star 60’s with these coordinating fabrics. Terri Butler of Mama Said Sew, LLC will be creating one of her gorgeous OBW Jackets.
Night Garden panel by Rubin Design Studio, exclusively for eQuilter.com , measures 29″ x 44″.
I cut my strips 3.25″ to yield 5″ finished hexies. Night Garden produced 182 hexies. I could place 5.5 hexies or 11 columns across the top and bottom sections.
If you use a pointed tip Star 60 tool or First Choice ruler to cut your equilateral triangles, the same strip can be used to cut Star 60 diamonds. The 3.75″ strip above yielded a 6″ finished hexies and a diamond for a 6″ Star 60 Unit (12″ star), (Blunt tip ruler changes the hexies size.)
2.75” Strip = 4” finished hexie and a diamond for a 8” finished Star 60
3.25” Strip = 5” finished hexie and a diamond for a 10” finished Star 60
3.75” Strip = 6” finished hexie and a diamond for a 12” finished Star 60
When making Star 60 units from these diamonds, follow the Star 60 tool instructions Steps 2 – 12.
Once you have the top and bottom sections together, you remove stitches in the valleys from the edge that will be attached to the panel and turn under 1/4″. I have my favorite seam rippers, but this time I tried the Taylor Seville Originals Magic Seam Ripper. I felt the difference right away. it felt light, and it fit well in my hand. it was very sharp and made quick work of removing the stitches without distorting the fabric. I think I have a new favorite seam ripper!
Top and bottom section attached, left Side attached and top stitched together.
Night Garden measures 86″ by 70″. I think the Night Garden is where the Garden Gnome – Mushroom Man lives!
Have you every loved a Dachshund? I have; they are special dogs. When this panel came out from Rubin Design Studio, exclusively for eQuilter.com I knew my Sister Mary would love it.
I cut my strips 3.25″ for 5″ finished hexies. I always use my First Choice Ruler for cutting my equilateral triangles. I placed 8 hexies across the top and bottom of the panel.
Top is together, needs tweaking. Then the borders go on.
“For the Love of Zoey is ready to quilt. Mary wanted a throw size to make it easier to cuddle in. Quilt top measures 70″ x 60”.

As soon as I saw this panel I wanted it! I love the colors and the Santa! Santa’s Sleigh is by Rubin Design Studio’s exclusively for eQuilter. BUT, then I noticed the reindeer! Why were they behind the Santa’s sleigh??? I decided it must be a shift change. After all we know male reindeer lose their antlers in winter. So, this must be the female reindeer showing up to have Santa’s Back!
I cut my strips 3.25″ using my First Choice rulers for 5″ finished hexies. This panel yielded 176 hexies.
The 5″ finished star 60 units were made with my Star 60 tool.
I made the Santa’s face hexies by stitching together two triangles to create a diamond. Then adding side triangles to create 5″ triangles, making it a 10″ finished Star 60 hexie.
I love this Santa’s Sleigh OBW Quilt. You can never have too many Santa quilts. Santa’s Sleigh measures 88″ x 70″. I Finish all my quilts with Quilters Dream Batting and Superior Omni thread.
The Witchy Poo panel was created by the Morris Creative Group for QT Fabrics. The panel measures 36″ x 42″. I love this panel. Its soft colors are so inviting.
My strips were cut at 3.25″ which yielded 5″ finished hexies.
I saved some hexies to combine to make 10″ finished Star 60 units.
The design process is underway. I started at the top and worked my way around the panel.
When I was happy with the design, I added half hexies from the border fabric to fill in the sides.
Withcy Poo measures 72″ x 64″ unquilted. It makes me think of the movie “Practical Magic”. The Aunts are flying off to attend the Summer Solstice Celebration. It looks magical to me. It seems as if the hexies have the task of protecting the family home while they are away. Thank you, QT Fabrics, for providing me with these fabulous fabrics. The Witchy Poo fabric line will be in quilt shops in 2026.
I absolutely love the colors in Canyonlands and couldn’t wait to get my hands on it. Canyonlands panel by the Morris Creative Group for QT Fabrics measures 36″ x 42″. QT Fabrics has given me and Terri Butler Canyonlands to make a One Block Wonder (OBW) quilt and jacket.
Into the Woods coordinating fabrics were used to enhance my OBW.
First the top and bottom sections are attached then the sides. Ready for borders.
Canyonlands top is together and ready for quilting. Canyonlands measures 63″ x 66″. I call it “Bad Moon Rising” after the Creedence Clearwater Revival song from 1969. Geez, I was in high school then. I just love the way river winds it way through the canyon and pools between the Hollow cubes.
Swan Song by The Morris Creative Group for QT Fabrics. Panel measures 36″ x 42″ with the outer border. I cut off the border to use as an outer border on the quilt. I cut my strips 3.25″ to yield 5″ finished hexies.
The ivory vintage buttons symbolize the swan eggs. The Swans are lovingly watching over their nest.
It is a beautiful Autumn Day and I’m inside wrangling peacocks.
