Annie, thanks. But I must say, I am sure you can do it, the process of cutting and piecing isn't difficult at all. And as far as the material goes, I didn't know how it was going to look like when I bought it. I had been planning on tackling a OBW for a while, walked into a quilt shop in CT and saw this fabric, something told me that it could work for OBW, I grabbed it and went to the lady in the shop and announced my plan, she declared that she had a mirror, and started going over the fabric with it and we started seeing cool kaleidoscopes, so I bought it.

I'd say if you want to make one, go for it!

Your quilt is beautiful. I especially like the ones like yours that have a place to rest the eyes--the boxes among all the other blocks. Thanks for sharing.
