Also, I'm not sure how to quilt the body of it. Would an allover stipple be right?
I had a strip left over that was too narrow for my quilt, so I'm making a small wall hanging.
As soon as I figure out how to get pictures here, I will post some of what I've done so far.
Thanks in advance for any input....and BTW, I'm loving this fabric and OBW!

It does look so nice with the OBW, I'm happy you were able to find some.

I might like that fabric more if it didn't have the orange in it, LOL. I am totally oranged out from making an orange quilt for my DGS. But I still love OBWs and will follow you all in this great adventure.

I am not an orange type person. I have made 3 (I think) orange quilts, although I often use orange in scrappies. I think the amount of orange in this fabric might have prevented me from buying it, if I'd seen it. The results, however, are spectacular.

I'm just quilting another OBW (Tipping the Scales) which is a dragon print and has lots of orange in it and I'm planning orange flames in the black outer border, so I'll probably be joining the 'oranged out' club myself soon! LMBO
