I have tons of gifted fabric with christmas theme, large print, none of it matches the other. I thought maybe a OBW. Could you show me yours?

One Block Wonder. Do a search here and you will find many beautiful quilts with this method.

I've made an OBW with Christmas (floral print) fabric, but not made up particularly to a Christmas theme. It's my avatar, and the original fabric is p.3 of this post

I've got some large scale fabric with cardinals on I am thinking of using for an OBW.

Dont forget you will need 6 repeats of the pattern and if the repeat is large scale, say 24", you would need 4 yds, ideally 4-1/2 yds minimum of the same fabric. A 16" repeat you would need almost 3 yds.

However I have done a small quilt with some hollow cubes as in the OBW books, using up my scraps of Christmas fabrics, here

Thank you for posting your pictures. Those are wonderful! I just dont know what else to do with this fabric. I suppose I'm just gonna need to get some mirrors and test out the fabric.
