Well I'm trying OBW with this fabric, but I don't think its working? I found my repeat every 6" and cut on this. So I have 6 stips at 6" wide all matched up ok I know thats right but is it too much. What am I doing wrong can anyone PLRASE help? Thanks

I love OBW's, but I'm not seeing enough variation across the fabric to make this one work ... might have to repurpose the triangles or hexes.

You didnt ruin a yard of fabric. I personally would use the triangles for another pattern. Look how far ahead you are on cutting for your next quilt if you decide to go that route! :)So many things you could do with this pattern.

ooh, I just picked up some of that print for a NICU quilt ~ yes, I think you maybe need a little more contrast for the OBW... but those would be darling with a blue or green for the quilt that is all that shape triangles (name eludes me right now)

I agree on both counts

Yes, I see too much of the fabric looks the same. You need to choose a fabric that has more differences. This one is just too similar all the way through. You can use this for something else though.

The fabric is too similar. Maybe make it a quilt with triangles.

Usually for a OBW the repeat should be in the range of 12 - 24". Less than that, like the fabric you have, there is not enough variation. Look for big, large scale prints with more variation like these:

Not enough contrast in the fabric as others have said. You might try to use your triangles as star points for another try at the technique. Here's what I did with my first try at Kaleidoscope blocks. I used the same size triangle for the all of the quilt except the border and a floating strip across the top and bottom. I whacked off the triangles on the sides to make it straight.

the quilt that annaquilts posted is the pattern I was think of :)
