OBW is Wonderful ... until you have to decide where to put each of those hexes!! :roll:
Friday was my OBW course day. Yea, to great progress at the course. It was all so much more simpler than when you read the book! Hexes sew up fast ... and I have them all done now. Although am considering making more for a larger quilt than first planned. However, the REAL work begins now, in determining where to put them for the final verdict!!! :roll: The Virgin Fabric [ATTACH=CONFIG]185773[/ATTACH] Completed at the Course [ATTACH=CONFIG]185793[/ATTACH] Oh dear ... now how does one decided where every one of those hexes should be placed??????? [ATTACH=CONFIG]185797[/ATTACH] |
That is lovely fabric for a OBW. I only have the OBW Cubed book but in that one she does offer suggestions on placement.
With yours I think I would group by color value for the most striking display of hexes. Try looking at the value of the hex only and go from darkest in one corner graduating to lightest in the opposite corner. The fabric seems to be lending itself to that. |
I'm thinking for Round Two ... that I should start with the darker ones in a corner and then fan out into the other colours, ending with the lightest over in the diagonally opposite corner.
Thoughts? Feedback? All are most welcome! |
I haven't done one but I remember that gorgeous fabric and love what you're doing!!!!!!!!!! :D:D

Re your suggestion of colour value ... how much attention do you think I should place towards the actual grouping of the colours? Thanks for the help! |

I agree with you, placing the blocks is the hardest part. I would place the blocks, walk away for a day, come back and rearrange, walk away, come back and rearrange. I just finally said, STOP, and sewed them together. Every arrangement was nice, but my DH was getting tired of it hanging there. LOL

That fabric is so pretty that it won't matter where you put the hexes. I can't wait to see it finished!

Looking good. Beautiful fabric.
