Hi Pickle, it's more of a technique than a pattern. The yardage needed depends on the pattern repeat so I can't give you an easy answer. Click this link and it will take you to the OBW Topic List (half way down) with lots of info on the books and so on. I would recommend that you invest in one of the books, available on Amazon if you can't find it locally. Click on the list name and it will take you to a list of all the Pictures threads here on the board where members have posted their finished tops and quilts - lots of inspiration there. :D

Thank you so much. :-D And don't be scared, you'll be fine. Just ask yourself 'what's the worse that could happen?' You waste a bit of fabric - so what? Anyway I'm sure you'll do great. :D

Oh, it's stunning! (Psst! Don't tell the Queen; she might demand it for herself.)

Ditto here :)

Im amazed that you did three beauties and then proceeded to applique on them. How beautiful and how georgeous and the Queen would agree.

well, the queen should loosen up and learn to "dirty dance", lol!
The orchidacious' look awesome...and glad to learn the 'snooker' room is not what I thought it was...hee hee hee :lol:

wow! they are gorgeous! And is that a .... disco ball hanging in the room? oh tell me this is your sewing room, wow what a big room!
Blessings,
MaryAnna

It looks like it was born to be there!!

amazing work...just beautiful.. :-)

I am awe struck. Those panels are truly gorgeous. I am sure the Queen would love them as well. Great job. Quite an inspiration.

Stunning panels! Love the colors and love the effect..Good Job

That is very beautiful. You have inspired me to try that and keep on trying until I get it right. I probably should go buy lots of material, though, and have it ready, don't you think? LOL

Absolutely gorgeous, I love the purple.

What a work of art! Gorgeous!

Wow! It was gorgeous before it was quilted - now it's beyond gorgeous - I don't know the next word to use!

they are beautiful, you are sew :) talented

Stunning!!! Great job!!! And a well deserved place of honor for them.

I'm speechless. Love that purple!

These panels are just beautiful and I'm sure the Queen won't mind a bit. LOL

Absolutely gorgeous - well done!

Absolutely breathtaking! Very impressive! And I love where it's hanging--it seems to fit there perfectly!

WOW. Stunning!

Breathtaking!

that is so beautiful, I love the pebbles around the border. WOW

Snorted coffee out of my nose! :mrgreen: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Disco ball, oh yes! We have some great parties in this Hall! Sadly it's not my sewing room but I can use it if I like for a nominal charge and am planning maybe doing a workshop or demo in there soon! :-D

Oh yes, you need stacks! And with this technique, you need major yardage! Go for it! I'm on my 17th though so look out, they're addictive! :-D

And thank you so much everyone else. I'm so glad you like it. And I'm overwhelmed by your superlatives. :-D :-D :-D

I absollutely love triptychs. I am working on one with a religous theme. Yours is striking and beautiful.

You did an awesome job

Thanks a lot, I went to a class once where we made a Posy quilt and I can't remember the full name right now but it was done the same way as the OBW I will order a book when I get back home. Right now I am in a campground in FL. for another month. But it is not warm today. thanks again.

The Four Patch Posy, where you stack 4 layers, cut squares and piece them into a larger square block, like a four patch? The technique is similar. If you can do that, you can do this. It's just the layout that differs with no sashing betwen the blocks. But get one of the books - I believe they're essential not only for the instructions on construction but more importantly for the details on how to design your layout.This makes or breaks the finished quilt IMO. :-D

Just beautiful!! Are those Don Stiver Prints on the wall! We have some of them. DH was in Army for 22 years. Also The Armstrong caught my eye. We were stationed at Armstrong Barracks in Germany for 9 yrs. Again Beautiful wall hangings!!

The photo in the alcove by the Queen is one of our landlord's ancestors, the photo to the right of my hangings is one of the villagers taken at the Millenium. I'm not sure what the other print is, I'll have a look next time I'm there. Armstrong is one of our landlord's ancestor's names - not sure what relation, I think maternal Grandfather. :-D

Those panels are absolutely amazing, K. I've had to go back to them a few times to study the detail. I've said it before, and I really mean it.....I may be older than you, but I want to be just like you when I grow up. I genuflect in your presence.

Thanks for the info!!Good Day To You!!

Stunning quilt. Now lots of people can enjoy it.

Beautiful, great job!

OH my GOSH!! they are beautiful and looks as if you made them specifically for that location. You did a beautiful job, congrats.

Fantastic job.
