I really wanted to try this technique but didn't want to spend a lot of money on it. So this is my $20 twin sized quilt top (I spread it on our queen bed) I learned a whole lot and will definitely make another one (fabric is already purchased) The people at my local fabric shop were very interested as I ran around with my angle mirrors.
Everywhere I look, I can see hexagon possibilities. I think I'm obsessed! The origional fabric--a kids' print [ATTACH=CONFIG]259167[/ATTACH] The quilt top--twin sized [ATTACH=CONFIG]259168[/ATTACH] One of the hexagons [ATTACH=CONFIG]259169[/ATTACH] |

The close-up of the six hippo heads is hilarious. :D I like it how you see the black zebra noses sprinkled all over the quilt.
|
Beautiful, love the results.
|
This is so cute!
|

|
I love the way it looks but I've been afraid to try, is it hard to figure out where to cut?

http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-34937-1.htm, choosing the fabric http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-35100-1.htm, more discussion on fabric choises http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-35685-1.htm, cutting the hexagons http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-36316-1.htm, assembling the blocks http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-36954-1.htm, layout I did a search for one block wonder and came up with this: http://www.quiltingboard.com/search....+wonder&u=&s=0 And this is a search of OBW: http://www.quiltingboard.com/search.jsp?q=OBW&u= Stack N Whack is another name for it. Here's a recent thread where it seems several people are using the same fabric (including me!) to make theirs: http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-153265-1.htm |
I'm liking these OBW. At first I was like "they're ok". Now I can't wait to see. I really like the before and after. I love your colors. Nice.
|
That is so cute!
|
I still have my 10 (TEN!!!) yards I bought to do the one that several people did from the same fabric. I don't have any idea where it is right now, so will have to wait until I find it while organizing.
|
I haven't been brave enough to try one, yet. Beautiful work!
|
I just love it, good job.
|
This is great!!!!
|
It is totally addictive. And much easier than it looks. The tutorials on this board were great. The hardest thing is matching up the six layers of fabric. After that, it's like a treasure chest--you never know what secret your next block will reveal.
The fabric for my next one is a large floral. Can't wait to get at that one but have 3 baby quilts to finish first--including one for my next grandbaby--DD is due at the end of the month. Guess I should get back to the sewing room! |
I would never have thought of doing it with a kid's print! It really adds something.
|
Wow what a transformation...great job!
|
Look at all those pink heads! Very cute
|
I haven't worked up the courage to try a OBW yet but I do like them. Your is very cute.
|
What a fun fabric to do OBW with. I like It! What's better than pink hippos!
|
Very cute!
