Awesome! That's your first experience with this quilting technique? You did a wonderful job!

Beautiful, great first OBW. Years ago I wanted to make one. Still haven't, I may one day.

You did a wonderful job on the arrangement.

Gorgeous!!!! I want to make one I have the fabric I am wanting to make it out of but waiting for someone to hold my hand :o

Very pretty quilt!

ruthrings 10-11-2013 04:21 PM

That was a glorious choice of fabric! Great composition, too!

spartan quilter 10-11-2013 04:56 PM

I love your quilt and the fabric that you started with. I have made one, but didn't have enough contrast in the fabric and was disappointed. But, your quilt gives me encouragement to keep looking for just the right fabric and give it another try. Thanks so much for posting.

Gorgeous quilt!?

Your OBW is stunning! I've made 3 of them and I really love playing with the hexes! I really want to do another, but they are so time consuming it may have to wait till after the holidays!

Unusual colors but what an eye-catcher it is! Really nice!

Cookie46 10-12-2013 04:07 PM

Totally awesome.

Cybrarian 10-12-2013 05:30 PM

So beautiful! I don't understand how you make one yet, but it is on my list to learn- great job!

cat-on-a-mac 10-12-2013 05:41 PM

That looks great! You chose a really good fabric for an OBW. To me, it looks like fireworks underwater, LOL!

nancia 10-12-2013 05:47 PM

Oooooooo, beautiful! That reminds me-- i have the fabric, why haven't I done this? Maybe we should do a saturday live tute where a group of us can be on line and doing this together. Anyone interested?

faykilgore 10-12-2013 06:22 PM

I like it. I made one out of the same fabric but can't seem to arrange the blocks in a manner I'm willing to commit to. I will have to study yours for inspiration.

Micki922 10-12-2013 06:41 PM

Great shapes and colors! Love it.

Retired Fire Chief 10-13-2013 03:08 AM

I love the colors and how they melt into each other. Very pretty.

SandyWh 10-13-2013 03:26 AM

I love your OBW. Beautiful.

klgls 10-13-2013 04:40 AM

Beautiful!!! Definitely on my bucket list!

jeanneb52 10-13-2013 04:42 AM

I did one and was not pleased ...Yours is much nicer than mine. Oh well.

kaelynangelfoot 10-13-2013 04:47 AM

Beautiful! That is actually a fabric I had picked out for a OBW but haven't purchased yet, now I'm going to!

duckydo 10-13-2013 05:37 AM

I love that! the colors are beautiful... Aren't OBW's fun?

duckydo 10-13-2013 05:40 AM

faykilgore, I think the hardest part is when you put it on the design wall and try to put it together.. I think the book says to start with your favorite block and put it in the middle of the design wall then sort of take the same colors as around that block and make them flow into each other.. clear as mud huh?

red-warrior 10-13-2013 05:44 AM

Just beautiful!

cpcarolyn 10-13-2013 06:30 AM

Beautiful.

Iraxy 10-13-2013 07:52 AM

OBW's are my favorite quilts. They are just so unique. You did a wonderful job. The second one is even easier. LOL

caspharm 10-13-2013 08:38 AM

Looks great and it's fun that you used the original fabric as the border.

mjhaess 10-13-2013 09:21 AM

Love all the colors...

JoanneS 10-13-2013 10:06 AM

I love OBWs, and yours is very pretty. I like the way you've included the original fabric in the border, too.
