I've done 5 OBWs and in the body of the quilts I've done a meander in a very fine thread as I didnt want to detract from the kaleidosopes. But I have tried to do something different in contrast thread in the borders.

I am doing a three different thread colour motif in the black borders, hope to finish it today.

What is the title of the book? I'd like to look for it on Amazon.

Katrine

There are two books so far

One Block Wonders - Maxine Rosenthal

One Block Wonders Encore - this is the one with the hollow cubes in.

There is a new book out in April with new variations on the hollow cubes, One Block Wonders Cubed, which would be a good addition for doing the cubes too.

On amazon the prices range from 14.29 to 62.79. Can anyone tell me why anyone would pay 62$ for this book. This was the encore one.

Thanks Katrine. This will most certainly be added to my book collection.

The meander in fine thread- was the thread a matching color to the body of the quilt or contrasting?
I've been told by way more experienced quilters than me, that when you have a very busy quilt top, then you need to do a meander or a design with much less detail to it, because you won't see it anyway with all that's going on with the pieced top.
Are your borders a solid fabric or the original fabric print?
Please post pictures. Thanks
