That's fantastic, it looks like a water color garden. Very beautiful. Can't wait to see the next one.

It definately looks like a Monet painting. What kind of material do you get??? Is there a Tute on this? Love it, Love it, Love it.

This is rows of triangles!!! How do you get everything matched up in blocks?? Your work is beautiful, but I don't think I could do it!

:oops: Guess it's a case of "it's easier if it's someone elses!'
Have you thought of using some metallic thread among the flowers? If that were mine I would want some subtle quilting to bring out the garden effect while staying "hidden" enough to not detract from the image of a garden...that's where the thought of using metallic came in for me.

Sure you could. It's actually a VERY easy pattern once you understand the concept :)

Drew, A OBW is definately one of those "looks hard, is really easy" patterns. Most quilters I know who have made one, go on and make several because they are so much fun, and EASY! I hope you will give it a try one of these days.
