It's great how you are using paper plates to keep the pieces together. Looks like you are doing a wonderful job of it dixie_fried! I remember in the book Maxine Rosenthal said that you should pick the fabric based on how much you like the colors rather than if you like the design. The fabric you chose is going to make a fabulous OBW quilt. It's a perfect example of how a fabric that made it to the clearance rack, that doesn't work well for most projects works so beautifuly for a OBW. Can't wait to see it all when you are in the stages of arranging the blocks... that's the really fun part!

I had to laugh when I read your post, because my very first quilt about a year ago was a (an?) OBW too and all because I got inspired by the book. And the reason I found this quilting board is because I had no idea how to quilt it after I got it all pieced. Turns out that is a common problem for many people. So I have that quilt to thank for helping me find the inspiring people and wonders of the QB!
