Okay so I can't stay on task very long and haven't finished my OBW yet. But a new baby girl is due in our family so I have a good excuse. For those who are not familiar with One Block Wonders, it's a process of lining up and stacking several layers of fabric to get the repeating design in each block. I am addicted and can't seem to make anything else. :oops: :mrgreen:

So here's my fabric and my first few blocks. I'm really loving these roses and guess I will have to find some for me someday. The fabric color is more accurate in the blocks.

I love your fabric!! :D It is so
pretty & your blocks are great.
I can't wait to see your finished
baby quilt. Thank you for sharing.
:D :D :D :D :D :D

In most cases, I'm not a big fan of OBW...your work is a major exception...excelllent!!!!

Oh Jenell that is going to be another beautiful creation :D I adore the dainty look of the blocks
Wtg sweetheart :)

Oh I'm blushing now! You guys are always so nice. This little girl home is in Alabama and they are naming her Caroline. I am hoping they dress her like a southern belle!

Your OBWs are awesome! I want to learn that so badly! Pretty fabric too!

That is going to be beautiful, can't wait to see it done. I can see why you're stuck on OBW quilts

Very pretty!!
love that fabric

How precious that is . . . what a beautiful gift to treasure! I've never cared for OBW, but your fabric choices have changed my mind. Simply lovely. Looking forward to seeing the finished quilt.

I like the OBW sometimes, depends on the total look for me,...and I love soft, feminine blocks...and roses are my all time favorite flower...
SO, MAN ARE THOSE GORGEOUS!!!! WOO HOO!
keep going and show us more! :D

It's going to be so pretty!!
I can see why it's so addicting!!

Very pretty! :D

Oh i just love this looks so soft very pretty

Oh This is the sweetest little quilt you have started. Love it.

Oh, wow! SO pretty! I love this! When I first saw the title of the thread, I couldn't picture it, but this is DARLING.

So, soooooooooo pretty. Looks very dainty and just perfect for a baby girl. :) :)
Congratulations--on quilt AND more importantly the new addition :) :)

I love it. Your work is awesome! I want to do one of those but I'm a chicked. It looks so difficult.

That's pretty!!
Need my addy?

Absolutely perfect for a precious baby girl! I sooooo want to give the OBW's a go! I did buy some fabric the other day to try, but only go a yard, now I wonder if it is enough for the repeats that it contains. I guess I will only know if I try! :wink: Seeing yours certainly is nudging me in that direction, but I don't think I could ever do as beautifully as you.

Such a pretty dainty looking quilt!!! Perfect :D :D :D

Really soft and feminine looking. Great job! I'm a fan of OBWs too and find them very addicting.

Beautiful fabric-it makes wonderful OBW blocks. This is going to be such a pretty quilt for a baby girl.

That is a precious OBW! I love them and this is going to be so feminine! I hope they dress her like a little belle as well! :lol:

ooooooooooooo i love your fabric. its so pretty. i love your quilt so far too. thats gonna be gorgeous

Very nice.

Jenell that is soooo pretty! It's a really delicate effect with the roses and leaves and the plain background - perfect for Sweet Baby Caroline! :D

It's going to be lovely - what a great idea for a baby girl.

Thanks everyone. Here are all the blocks. I only started with 3 yards of this fabric and it was just enough to get the blocks and have some left over for borders. I'm having trouble getting the layout done though, the color is so soft that it's hard for me to see where to go with them. I would love to find a soft green to work into the border.

That is going to be very pretty.

I give, what is an OBW? OH BOY, WOW???

OBW is One Block Wonder, basically a Kaleidoscope. Bethany Reynolds wrote a book called Magic Stack N Whack and it is all the same, just called by different names. :lol:

It's beautiful, very soft and feminine. A few years back I got hooked on Stack and Whacks. Now I am working on my first One Block Wonder and
I can see I'm hooked on these too. Not a surprise really as they are very, very similar techniques. Went to two quilt shops with a couple of friends today and every fabric went into one of two categories: great for OBW or not for OBW. Would love to see pics of some of your other OBWs.

Hey, I was born in Ala, married & went off to see the world as an Army wife, then came back to Ala. Where do Caroline's parents live? I'm in NE Ala. I know they & she will love this OBW baby quilt. Will the backing be flannel or another fabric? They will adore it for a long, long time. It's always so nice to have someone in the family who makes and gives quilts as gifts.

I picked up some cream jaquard (sp) with roses on it. It's kind of heavy but so pretty. We will see how my quilter likes it. I should get the borders on this weekend.

Caroline's parents are in Daphne. This is the first baby and probably will be the only one. Dad is almost my age and I'm a grandma 3 times already! So off to a slow start for him but oh what fun he is going to be in for. I'm sure this little one will have him wrapped around her little finger in no time at all. :wink:

Jenelll,
Daphne, AL, is in South, AL & I'm in NE. When is she due? I know you can't wait.

That is going to be lovely. The fabric is soft and beautiful looking. Please post pics when you are done. I would love to see the finished quilt. It's going to be beautiful.

How sweet for a baby girl! I can't wait to see it finished.

I finally got the top done this weekend. I think this is a record for me! 17 days! Don't laugh Cutebuns :wink: This will go off to the quilter as soon as I make sure they haven't changed her name so I can put it in there.

The backing is jacqaurd. It was kind of hard to work with in the 1/2" border so I hope it doesn't give my quilter any trouble.

Jenell that is so soft and pretty! I love it! Can't wait to see it when your quilter's done! :D

Jenell, that turned out so beautiful. So soft and feminine.
