Beautiful quilt...obw is the most fun of all, I think...I have made close to 20....I always use meandering...often with Thread that blends, variegated,....why detract from the fabulous design that magically appears with each completed hexagon and the delight that comes when working on the design wall....The pain comes sewing when sewing the half hexagons together....and that is a small price to pay when the border and binding goes on and the quilt is hanging!
