Aren't OBW's an absolute thrill to do? Love your layout. Do you plan to border it? Please show us when you finish. Great job.

I don't know if anyone else does this but I cut half triangles, and their mirrors, to put together in all the spaces at the top and bottom. I usually cut them at the beginning of each strip when cutting triangles. You have to cut that triangle off at the beginning of the strip anyway. :o) Ann

Beautiful. It is so much fun to see what turns up in these quilts.

My girlfriend gave me really good advise - she told me the easiest and best way to quilt a top was to follow the design in the fabric if possible or the design of the quilt. She has been quilting for over 60 years. Hope this helps you see your way. Thank you.

Found a picture of the original fabric! Thanks for the encouragement, I'm going to need it when I start quilting. Its on my Get It Done in March list. |
Did you wash your fabric first before cutting?
I got a book on how to make this and it says don't wash your fabrics first, and unfortunately I had already washed most of my fabrics. Just wondering if it would work out very well using washed fabrics. |
Love, love, love your quilt!! It is beautiful. Great job.
|
that is amazing!
|
Just absolutely stunning. Maybe one day I'll get up the nerve to try one.
|
Wow, I love it! Haven't built up the courage to do this yet.
|
you guys are braver than I am-that is one beautiful quilt.

I love OBSs, and yours is gorgeous! I hope you have enough of the original fabric to put on the back or use as a border.
|
Love your quilt but what exactly is a One Block Wonder?
|
I am coming late to this party but I am in AWE of this BEAUTIFUL creation of yours. I have wanted to do this pattern for a long time. I guess I just have to jump in. You did an incredible job. Please post the end results!
|
That is just beautiful....I have put this on my 2013 quilting list!!!
