You chose the perfect fabric for this technique -- big and small elements and lots of background. That's what almost guarantees exciting and very different blocks. Keep up the good work!

What an inspiriation. All this in just a few days. As you have found out, you choose great fabric. I have not done one yet but have some fabric set aside that I want to try. Maybe after I finish a couple of UFO's this year I will pull it out.

You are making it look really easy and I always thought it would be hard.

Very Nice, a OBW is on my list as soon as I screw up enough courage to try one.

I love the fabric choice and it's still amazing to me how you can get so many different looks from the same fabric.

Beautiful blocks. To see the difference from you fabric( pretty fabric ) to the blocks is great will be a pretty quilt when done.

I thought the fabric as a whole piece was very pretty - but cut up into blocks it's downright smashing! Please, please keep us posted. I can't wait to see the finished product.

You are well on your way to a beautiful quilt.
Gorgeous fabric and the pattern is perfect for it.

I'm a little farther behind schedule than I thought I would be...didn't take into account that big kids went back to school today and I had to get up at 6. Blech.
Still piecing those half hexes...almost finished. Design wall re-worked, courtesy of a thrift store find I had buried in my sewing pile. That huge hank of ugly fleece that was going to be pajama pants is now hanging happily on my wall holding all my completed blocks. It's coming full circle.
Photo is just a bit.
Thanks, as always for the kind comments. You all are the nicest people around!
