    obw...done a little different

    I came across the obw tutorial and fell in love. I wanted to make a quilt for my neighbor and thank him for all his help in acquiring some great vintage machines.

    I planned to do the full quilt but didn't have enough fabric but someone else (thank you for the inspiration) had posted pics of their obw done in a similar way.

    The white would of been a great place to show off some great quilting but I don't have the experience yet, in time.

    Thank you for taking the time to look at the pics.Name: DSCF1325.JPG Views: 1490 Size: 1.43 MB Name: DSCF1319.JPG Views: 1511 Size: 1.77 MB Name: DSCF1321.JPG Views: 1481 Size: 1.07 MB

    Unique use of limited fabric. I love how it's showcased against the white background. I'm sure your neighbor will love it. Thanks for sharing.
