To assist you in choosing fabrics for a OBW, type oneblockwonderdesignhelper into google. It's free. Open fabric on bolt, take a pic, go to design helper and import pic, change fabric width to 20" if pic is taken with fabric folded on bolt, and make and then make hexies. You get a preview of what your quilt will look like. Very helpful as some fabrics I thought would work great turned out to opbe only so-so. Happy Quilting!

I love your OBW, I am also addicted to them. So far I've only finished one top, but have fabric for several more. I am not so good at picking fabric as you are and I've started two only to be unhappy with not having enough contrast in my blocks.
I also love making 4PP and have been more successful with them. lol

That was a terrific fabric for this technique. Your blocks turned out wonderful. This looks like more than just a practice piece!

I am truly amazed! It looks wonderful.

Wow, this will be beautiful!!

I really love the concept, especially for using up stash that I'm no longer in love with. As long as you like the colour palette, it seems like you can really disguise the pattern. Great stashbusting idea.
