Okay I'm really excited so I am already posting my fabric for this one. I am going to do it in the octagons from the One Block Wonders book. This one is actually going to be for me! All of my quilts have gone to others so far.

I started cutting last night so hopefully I will have some blocks to show soon. :mrgreen:

Luv your fabric. I have done two OBW's so far and have several fabrics for more. They are so much fun to do. Enjoy....and I will look forward to seeing the finished quilt.

That fabric is beautiful! That will make a stunning OBW. Can't wait to see pictures.

Your fabric is beautiful. Can't wait to see the quilt.

Joey

Love it.

Love your fabric. Looking forward to seeing how it all looks!

Oh how pretty!!! It's calming... just beautiful.

Gorgeous fabric! Can't wait to see the finished quilt! Hurry, hurry, hurry! :D

I love it, should make a beautiful OBW. I have all the blocks done on one but having a hard time getting it laid out just right. It just doesn't look good. Good luck with yours.

that is awesome fabric, can't wait to see what it will look like

That is really pretty fabric and is going to make gorgeous OBW blocks. I cannot wait to see them.

That is gorgeous fabric! Wherever did you find it?

Oooh, love OBWs. Waiting with baited breath to see them come together! :lol:

Beautiful fabric. I love florals and that one is great. I can't wait to see pictures of your quilt.

The fabric is gorgeous - going to make a stunning OBW! Beautiful colours.

oooh Jenell - that will be pretty! Got any blocks to show yet? Whatcha waiting for, girl? :mrgreen:

Funny you should ask! :mrgreen:
Here it is in little pieces and then 4 blocks that I just couldn't wait to see what they were going to look like.

Oh, Jenell, what a perfect fabric for that quilt.
Thanks for posting your progress, it's going to be beautiful!

(glad you're keeping it for yourself, too!)

Thanks for the show! BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL! :thumbup:

Oooh Jenell - I tried to reach into my screen and grab those babies right out of there! That's going to be scrumptious! :D

Those are absolutely gorgeous!!! I can't wait to see them all!!!
K3n, drool is bad for keyboards. Get a bib! :D :D :D

That fabric is perfect for a OBW. Gorgeous!!! Iv'e made two myself. They are quite addicting! Not as hard as they look huh?

Love it! I may be dumb, but are those kaleidoscope blocks? I have been just dying to try them, but never can decided what fabric will work. Looks like you definitely don't have that problem. Are the pieces cut with templates? And how do you decide where to cut?

Nursie, there are two great books called One Block Wonders and One Block Wonders Encore by Maxine Rosenthal that explain the process - the fabric is stacked into 6 identical layers and the triangles are cut with a 60° triangle. The patterns fall where they may and it's such FUN! Ain't it, Jenell? Back me up here! :D

Thanks, I have got to try this it is beautiful!

They are turning out beautiful; you are brave, I would have had a hard time cutting that fabric.

I am so glad you posted this, as I think my next quilt is a one block wonder. Please keep us updated on your progress. Looks beautiful so far.

You picked really great fabric for a kaleidoscope quilt. I cannot wait to see your blocks

Nursie, half the fun is not knowing what will come out as you cut. You never really see till you get all the triangles back together. It sure keeps you sewing! :wink: I did use a template on this one because it is 8 instead of 6. When you make it with 6 you only need a 60 degree angle on your ruler.

Okay, here is what I got so far...

Lovely fabric. ? what is a OBW, should I 'google' it?

All those different block color variations out of the same piece of fabric??? I gotta try this. :-o :thumbup:
Your fabric is just beautiful. Which brand and name is it?

That's looking good Jenell! I love the way it's splitting into lilacs and blues; and sorry for giving directions for hexagons when these are clearly OCTAGONS! :oops: :lol:

K3n you just jump in here anytime! You are way better at explaining things than I am.

One Block Wonders, w :)

So did this OBW get finished? I'd love to see a picture of it!

I'm not sure what a OBQ is, but I do like the one you made for the DH! Very NICE! :thumbup:

Oh boy, I have been away a long time! And this one is still just about where it was when I last posted. I am just about to finish up my fall OBW for my dad. It's sewed into rows now so it shouldn't be long. Then I can spend a little more time on this one. It doesn't get priority because it's for me. :roll:

Beautiful fabric!! That will be a fun project for you. Looking forward to seeing your blocks!!

I love your fabric! Can't wait to see the finished quilt.

Lovely fabric. Post your blocks!!!

Gorgeous fabric! Excited to see your quilt! :)
