Aren't OBW's an absolute thrill to do? Love your layout. Do you plan to border it? Please show us when you finish. Great job.

Beautiful quilt and that is a great idea! I set my hexagons with black but I like the half triangles much better.

No pets, DH is allergic to everything that has fur! I miss pets sometimes and other times there are benefits. The hardest part is getting the fabric lined up and cut correctly, I had a few I discarded due to mistakes.

Its a kaleidoscope quilt, made from 3 inch triangles. There is a great tutorial on Connecting Threads

Thanks for posting that link. I have the OBW book, but a video is even better.
