That is beautiful fabric. It should make a great OBW.

So anyone else have fabric they want to show or talk about for the OBW?

Sounds like me ! Oh, there it is..under some of this fabric. Oh yes..that's what I was working on when I shut the door to keep the dogs out. Now I remember !!

Experts, your opinions please?

Esqmommy:

Your print can have many colors. My avatar has 16 colors in it and it works fine.

Sometimes I think this site is way to smart and talented for me, but I sure am learning a lot. Thanks so much everyone.

Cheryl, Cutie did a tutorial on this right here on the QB, go check out these links!

http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-35100-1.htm this is on fabric choices
http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-35685-1.htm this one is on cutting your fabric
http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-36316-1.htm this is on assembling the blocks
http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-36954-1.htm this one is on layout

Cutie gives step by step instructions on how to do this process and several people have posted their own projects on these threads.

I was so afraid of messing it up until I saw these tutorials and how easy it was. These tutes make it easy and now I am doing one!
