Finally my OBW after 1 year
 
2 Attachment(s)
It took me over a year to finish due to many interruptions and some stalling, but I finally got this done just before Christmas. I like the overall look, but am not happy with my FMQ! It is 76x64 in. The back is pieced to show off the original fabric. I did the FMQ on my DM, long daisy petals in the hexagons, and leaves in the border and setting pieces. I'm glad I tried this, but probably won't do another at least for awhile. On to making baby boy quilt for new grandson! (Much more fun!)

Beautiful! OBW's are one of my favourite patterns.

Definitely bright, but oh, so pretty! Great job!

It always amazes me--the original fabric and the fascinating end product. Your quilt is beautiful.

Love your fabric and colors.

Fabulous! I really love OBWs! I want to do one myself, but I that's a few years down the line. I really like that you used your OBW fabric as the backing - great idea!

coastienest 02-04-2014 06:24 PM

Really nice. This is on my to do list someday and I enjoy seeing how everyone puts them together. Thanks for sharing,

Beautiful!! I love how it goes with your rug. I think you should hang it there.

Barb_MO 02-04-2014 06:28 PM

Really nice. You did a good job. Love how it transformed into all those pretty blocks.

dunster 02-04-2014 06:36 PM

Beautiful, and good job on the hollow cubes too. It's always fun to see the original fabric.

HillCountryGal 02-04-2014 06:39 PM

ABSOLUTELY Beautiful!!!!
I'd love to see it in person. Have a feeling the picture doesn't do it justice.

debcavan 02-04-2014 06:48 PM

NikkiLu 02-04-2014 07:27 PM

WOW - so fabulous! I absolutely love your borders too! Still doesn't give me the courage to cut into the $80 worth of fabric that I bought for a OBW - sigh.

Susy 02-04-2014 07:29 PM

Incredible job in placement!! You should be so proud of yourself!

Teddybear Lady 02-04-2014 07:36 PM

I love the colors in this one. I have my fabric for a OBW, just haven't settled down long enough to start cutting on it.

annieshane 02-04-2014 07:38 PM

This is a great quilt. The border just sets it off perfectly (matches rug too). I like the border quilting also.

Wonderfully done!

EllenwoodGa 02-05-2014 06:38 AM

Your OBW is wonderful. I really like your colors. Wish I could seen the original fabric.
I've been asking at my LQS's to see if anyone will teach a OBW class.
so far there have been no takers. I've watched tutorials, but I still don't feel confident enough to try one.

mighty 02-05-2014 06:46 AM

Beautiful!!!!

Czech Rose 02-05-2014 06:47 AM

I think OBW's are so amazing, yours is simply gorgeous!!! I still have it on my bucket list!!!!

racerh 02-06-2014 09:02 AM

This is a wonderful quilt! I have made the cubes but not the other block you have used for most of your quilt. You have inspired me to add this to my bucket list - it is just beautiful!
