    I also made my strips 4 inches wide instead of the 3.75. It's much easier (in my mind) to work with whole or half numbers than these 1/4 or 3/4 numbers. I figure it's my quilt, I can make it bigger or smaller if I want!

    QuiltE - your quilt is gorgeous! I love the variation of colours!

    The fabrics that I bought are these two:

    Well, I just clicked on it and realized it brought you to the "group". I chose the ones with the big flowers and one has a purple background and the other a light teal.

    I'm hoping to have better luck with those

    Thanks for all the comments.
    Love your fabric choices! When I looked at your practice piece, I liked how the darker fabric gave depth to the whole. I think your purple fabric will do that. The thing I like about OBWs is that they do all blend and flow into each other so personally I would not do sashings/frames.

    I can't wait to see yours!
