I have no idea what an OBW is or how you get all those kalidioscope patterns out of one fabric. I would love to know I thought the blocks turned out great.

Wow gorgeous! Who would have thought that the look would be this nice. OBW are interesting, and I like yours very much.

Me, too. When I go into a store or come out of a ladies room and start talking about remembering the design of the tiles for a quilt,whoever I'm with tells me I need a vacation! I guess you just have to be a quilter!

They are beautiful blocks and I agree about triangles inbetween. I like OBW like that.

This is a fabric I picked up years ago at a thrift store or somewhere. It says Wamsutta OTC on the selvage.
