An OBW would be beautiful. I have this fabric too.

What is OBW

I think a couple of us bought ours at joann's recently if that helps

I think that sounds like a great idea. I can't wait to see the differences in all of them.

I have this fabric and both blenders to go with it but did not know what I was going to make. Will have to look into the OBW. The fabric is just so lovely.

Thank you to DonnaCollierBess who asked what a OBW is! Being new to quilting and new to the forum...these abbreviations and quilt-lingo have caused me much angst. So please, would some of you be kind enough to occasionally clue us newbies in on your abbreviations. Much, much appreciated.

Ditto!!!!

This is explained twice on previous page. Someone always asks. After a while you get used to the lingo (and you can even make up some acronyms of your own if you want to drive the rest of us nuts!)

There are lists of abbreviations on the board - here is one -

Should have added - OBW = One Block Wonder

To add to dunster's comment, go here to the topic lists http://www.quiltingboard.com/virtual_section_list.jsp and you'll se a brief run down on kaleidoscopes and a list of threads with ppls finished tops and quilts all in one place. :-D

where did you get that pattern?? for the OBW?? Sure want to make one.

thanks and Yes this fabric is just perfect for an OBW!! Beautiful.

If you click on my link in the post directly above yours, you'll find all the information you need. :-D

Thank you dunster and k3n...I followed your links and besides informative they are hilarious! As a newbie I guess I might be considered a WIP! Thank you all for your comments. I sure am enjoying this forum (and hopefully learning a lot).

Oh, I love the colors, have fun with creating with it

That is BEAUTIFUL. It looks almost like the oriental type fabric. That's the type of fabric that I just love.

Dunster, Thank you so much for giving us the page again of the list. I copied it this time so that I have it when I need it.

I haven't done one, but it looks like what is being used to me. Go for it

wow gorgeous material! I was at JoAnns on Sunday and didn't see it, it should have been calling my name from its hiding place cuz I sure would have gotten some with my gift card!

Can't wait to see the blocks you make as you progress. Please be sure to show us.

I love the fabric, too!

Oh! Yes I think that would make a beautiful block. That fab is beautiful. Be sure to show pics.

I think so and it should be very interesting with the aray of colors and design...can't wait to see you plate layout before you stitch them together. :thumbup:

can't wait to see the finished product...Love the colors

One Block Wonder.

One Block Wonders...similar to stack n wack

depends on the size you want....most say 6 yards

It's in PICTURES --"Thanks k3n....." Gorgeous!

Nena, where did you find your fabric? It's going to be so pretty.

Beautiful fabric can't wait to see it made

Oh yes!

See, I knew that would be a great OBW fabric!!

I love the fabric. This is something on my to do list. What book are you referring to? Can anyone please give me the name or ISBN number. Thanks.

Rina if you follow this link, you'll find all the information you need. :-D :-D :-D

Just a note... when I bought fabric going by guidelines on here, I bought 4 yds.Must say, it's according to repeats & how big of a quilt you want.I made a doz & never sewed them together.Think the fabric gave me a headache :-) from wondering what I'd do with it once done?

Here are all 3 books on Amazon. The first one shows the hollow cubes but does not have any information on how to make them. I bought the first book before the other two came out, but figured out the cubes on my own. I think that all 3 contain the basic directions for selecting fabric, cutting, and sewing the quilts, so if I were buying just one today I would probably buy the last one.

The third book is the one I just got and it does give the basics in it also. I've never made a OBW and the instructions do seem easy to follow.

I hope so because the fabric is beautiful.

I'm jealous, I have been searching for just the right fabric to do a OBW and haven't found the fabric that talks to me yet, that one talks LOUD, it is perfect. We now have the before picture PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE post pictures of the during and after.

Hi, I hope nena doesn't mind me chipping in but I know she's away from her computer for a while. A few of us here on the board have this same fabric and have started doing a group OBW with it and posting our progress here http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-92198-1.htm#2311364 nena is going to join in as soon as she can. :-D

Thanks very much for this info, after posting this response I went looking in the pictures section and saw photos of someones layout using the same fabric. I will certainly be keeping a watch on this thread. Thanks again.

You ought to be happy with the way the blocks look. It is so luscious I would have trouble cutting into it. Just love saturated color.

I am wanting to do one of these....beautiful fabric. I, too, am a bit scared to try. Keep us posted...
