If you have enough fabric, put Glad Press and Seal on your ruler. Lay the ruler on a block and trace the features with a sharpie. You can then take your ruler to your piece and cut out an exact match for your 6th piece. Discard the plastic and put on a new piece, trace etc. until you have all your pieces.
If you don't have enough fabric, consider putting one solid shape in a the base kind of like the bird body of a peacock. The other 5 pieces will look like the tail and you could applique the eyes and beak on the plain piece? Just an idea.

I took a class for the OBW through my quilt guild a few years ago. We only cut five on purpose, added a semicircle(base of the flower that the petals sit in) and then added the stem and leaves. Although I didn't care for the technique, it turned out kinda cute. OBW is definitely NOT for me...but then...that's why we are all "individuals"

Thanks for all the great ideas. I like the idea of making flowers since it is also a flowery fabric. I'll post a pic when I get it figured out. Even though i bought the fabric in the clearance bin, it is too pretty to give up on. Glenda
