Julie, your half hexs are just pinned together, not sewn together yet, right? I can't tell from the picture. But the need to be in halves to assemble the OBW. They look great BTW

My floral masters are sewn, BUT they are NOT hexs. They are octogons so they are supposed to be sewn together. I understand that if I were doing hexs they would only be half hexs :). That's what my first OBW was (hexs).

Can't wait to see more pictures of others work! and some of that applique you are working on k3n.

Julie those octos look gorgeous! They're much more spinny than the hexes if you know what I mean!

OK Gai has already had a sneaky peek at the applique and it won't be attached fully til the thing is quilted so I guess I'll give a sneak peek here too. The butterfly is appliqued to fusible batting and interfacing and is just pinned on at the moment. I'll sew it on by hand after it's quilted. The caterpillar is getting embroidered antennae, beady eyes, seed bead legs and little black beady feet - but again, when it's quilted. He's going to be gazing wistfully up at the butterfly, wishing he were that lovely! :mrgreen: I'm calling it 'Metamorphosis' :D

All of your OBW's are so pretty!! I've wanted to do one for a long time, but I'm intimidated by it. It just looks so hard.
Love all your quilts!!

Don't be afraid of OBW's! They are really very easy and go together very fast. Deciding on your final arrangement will prob. take the longest chunk of time.

I thought you might enjoy seeing the OBW cousin, Kaleidi. This is the quilt I'm making for my niece. My floral master quilt is going to her mom, my sister :)

My purple blender is almost taking over the focal print. I'm still learning when it comes to putting color values together :?
