Hi..this is my first OBW. I enjoyed making it but I think a better choice of fabric may have resulted in a nicer quilt. This one is a bit busy. But being my first, I didn't really have a lot of idea what to look for. Don't know if I'll rush and do another...but who knows?..lol. I followed Cutebun's tut and it was quite easy to follow. Thanks Cutebun

Gorgeous. I am determined to cut my OBW fabric this week.

Wow what a bright and beautiful quilt. It would be a wonderful addidition to any home. Yes it is busy but the colours are wonderful. I would love it and use it in my home.
What does OBW stand for?

Lucymae 03-21-2011 02:24 PM

It turned out really good. :thumbup:

I think that looks even more like a real kaleidoscope than a OBW usually does.

Great choice of fabric.

MimiLinda 03-21-2011 02:29 PM

I think it turned out very nice. I'm sure you were amazed with each new square. I have never done a OBW, it looks hard.
Happy Quilting. :D

magpie 03-21-2011 02:33 PM

I think it is lovely

sandyl 03-21-2011 02:52 PM

I think it's gorgeous.

SueDor 03-21-2011 02:58 PM

That turned out great. So the secret of obw is to have the wildest material you can find!

buckeyed 03-21-2011 02:59 PM

Great colors. Love colorful quilts. Good job!

suebee 03-21-2011 03:06 PM

I think it it turned out really great. You did a great job on the quilting too. :):)

sherriequilts 03-21-2011 03:09 PM

WOW! That inspires me for sure. Love the original fabric and how your quilt turned out! Do another!

QuiltnNan 03-21-2011 03:16 PM

the fabric may have been a tad busy, but I think that gives you many more varied blocks. It turned out very well, in my opinion. Please don't make it your last.

farscapegal 03-21-2011 03:21 PM

I think it looks lovely.

For the first OBW quilt I think you did a fantastic job. Your next one will be even better because you will know what you want and don't want to do.

This is a beauty...I love the colours and the black really sets it off nicely.

hperttula123 03-21-2011 04:20 PM

It's beautiful!!!

quiltsRfun 03-21-2011 04:43 PM

I like it. One of the best I've seen. There's a lot of variation in the blocks so it doesn't look the same as the original fabric.

miss_ticky2 03-21-2011 04:45 PM

Thanks everyone..I guess I like a more subtle look. I will probably try another one day..when I see a fabric that jumps out at me..lol

DebraK 03-21-2011 05:23 PM

I like it. I think it is finished quite nicely.

LeeAnn 03-21-2011 05:29 PM
