A group OBW with the Floral Master Fabric
#341
The hex top is done! I have to admit though, once I turned it the direction it is supposed to be, I'm not really feeling it anymore :(
I've always pictured the upper left light wandering down to the lower right red. i'm left handed and I guess the left to right just "flows" better for me. I have to get used to this new look :?
Anyway, I'm still proud and happy that I finished it finally!! :thumbup:

So someone please help me out. I also saw someone cutting it in the corner. That confuses me. If I can start with a pattern from somewhere it would be helpful for me. Thanks a bunch, Sandi

My border will probably just be strips. I love red and that is why I chose this fabric to begin with. To me, when I turned the top "I" lost the red POP that I was feeling before...sooooo...I think I will put a skinny cream border, then a little bit wider red (to match) border, then finish to size with black. I have the coordinating black fabric with little gold 'twigs' on it that I'm going to use for binding and I have a black that has a very faint circle design in it that I feel would work awesome for the back. Although I've been thinking of switching the back to a khaki/tan color that would match the front.
I'm probably going to let it rest for a few days. I've worked a bunch on it lately and I need a rest from it :lol:
I'm ready to start cutting the floral fabric! Did you cut your strips WOF? I notice it has a staggered repeat on the WOF and didnt know if that would make a difference.
I think I'm going to give it another shot of starch tonight then cut some strips. I'm going to try one strip in the accuquilt cutter. I keep forgetting I am doing EIGHT layers and that may not come out good in the cutter. Might be too thick. We'll see.

I have to apologize for interfering on this thread.
The very first post says that the book being referenced is
One Block Wonder books by Maxine Rosenthal
This woman has done a lot of work making sense of this technique and has earned the right to sell her books.
Anyway, for those who don't know, a One Block Wonder or OBW is a kind of kaleidcoscope quilt similar to stack n whack. There is a Topic List here on the board and a brief description about them with details of the books here

The above section was in the very first post of this thread, and I am so sorry that I posted some other threads that detracted from the stated purpose of this particular thread. If the administrator would remove my links comments, I would appreciate it, and again I apologize.
It also was not my place to tell anyone where to get additional information ... I should have deferred to the author of this thread. <wave>
