    I bought this beautiful fabric last summer, and I don't know if I should make a quilt as is or turn it into a OBW? It is actually very shimmery fabric, the silver almost glows.
    Taking votes!!!

    I'm not a huge fan of OBW's I like the idea of using it in a quilt.

    I don't know the answer. It's beautiful fabric and either way would be lovely.

    I am sure it would be a beautiful OBW but how can you cut it? I am afraid I would just have to love it like it is! (Which explains a large portion of my stash, lol!)

    Hmm, I'm not sure I would use this in an OBW, but I love it all together.
