I have a feeling that it will be stunning. Wonderful bold colors! Don't forget to show us pics!

Some one started a OBW with that fabric and posted today - maybe you can find the post and check the repeat

That will turn out beautifully, I'm sure! It doesn't look like a huge repeat, 3 yards should be plenty!

It's beautiful fabric.

Yardage isn't the important thing, it's how many repeats. A repeat might be anything from a few inches to 24 inches or more. It looks like your repeat might be about 15-18"??? If it's 18" then you need 6*18", which is 3 yards. If you're just a little shy (because it wasn't cut exactly straight) that can be okay.

Do you know how to measure the repeat? Find a point on the pattern (it's easiest to do this near the selvage) and then measure down to where that same point reappears. That is the length of the repeat.

I bet it will come out just stunning. Lucky you.

I also got mine at Joann's I think I only got 2 or 2 1/2 yards hope I got enough. I want to try one of the OBW cubed. I just got the book and I thought with that fabric theres so many bright colors to work with for the cubes. Never done one so we'll see how it goes. I bet all of ours will be different since it depends on what you pick as the repeat. Can't wait to see yours.

Perfect for OBW, and it will be really pretty!

I'll look tonite and let you know what I chose as the repeat. But I think I figured I could get 3 repeats from one yard and I think I picked the brite blue flower but I'll let you know later tonite.
