Don't be discouraged, they look fine!! You just need more of them. Keep going and you'll be surprised how well it all goes together. And yes, I agree, can we see the original fabric? Hang in there, I think you'll be glad you did.
And Ewecansew, OBW's are the ones made from Hexagons. It is the Stack and Whack that is different.

I don't care for these or the stack & whack...waste of time and fabric as far as I am concerned...never did see a finished one I cared for either...and the makers all complained about the left over waste of fabric...just not sure what the fascination is for these things...

I'm with you ladies. All quilts are beautiful in their own way. If you don't like something, KEEP IT TO YOURSELF! No one here wants to hear their hard, and beautiful, work is being judged on such a negative level. Seriously - I gotta ask, why would you post that?

I have taught and or helped any number of people with their OBW. And I have yet to have anyone complain of the waste. Just the opposite. I have had a few that were not happy with the end result but that can happen with any quilt. I have done several myself as well with completely different looks on all of them ( I even did a landscape one) to each their own.
I really don't think this comment was warranted.
