Wow Wow Wow, I love it. You have done an amazing job of this one. It looks like a patterned glass window with the light coming from the top left. The applique just looks fantastic.
I have just about finished my second OBW and thought that would do me fo a while but you keep coming up with new ideas and now I will be on the look out for more fabric :lol:

Well I'm proud to say it's an English line! :-D It's called "In Full Bloom" and is from The Woodrow Studio. I bought it online a while ago from an English supplier, I don't remember which one though but I hope you can find it in the States. I've just got a 30" piece left that I'm planning to use as a backing for the centre panel or I'd send you some. :-( :D

Ok, so when I come across the big pond, I take a left at Big Ben and head to your house. Sure hope there's a place for me to buy a HUGE suitcase to put this in. :)

No suitcases within a hundred mile radius I'm afraid! :lol:

Thank you - I must say I had doubts myself, which is why I did the three different sizes as an experiment! :-D

The basic technique of cutting the hexagons and piecing them together is from Maxine Rosenthal's books One Block Wonders. The layout, different sizes, applique and panels are all my own ideas. :-D
