Gorgeous fabric! I've never made one, at least not yet. I plan to :D

That is going to be so cool. I love the colors and that pattern is going to be wonderful for a OBW. I can't wait to see it.

i just bought fabric to do my first one too. how do you know how many repeats it has and then how do you determine how wide to cut the strips?

Tippy 01-27-2011 09:21 AM

Oh.. that is going to be amazing.. can't wait to see it.

sewwhat85 01-27-2011 09:22 AM

kwhite 01-27-2011 09:25 AM

I tink this is the fabric Gaigai used on one of her OBW's. I will see if I can find it.

Char 01-27-2011 09:27 AM

I think it will make a fabulous OBW. Glad you didn't pass it up!!

pamesue 01-27-2011 10:45 AM

wow...tha should make some cool looking blocks

grendelskin 01-27-2011 11:20 AM

I saw this in JoAnn's the other day and fondled it for about 10 minutes before turning away; I have three OBW-eligible fabrics sitting home already! I think this will be fabulous, nice choice!

Jan T 01-27-2011 11:23 AM

All those nice colors will make it a knock out. Have fun creating and spinning the triangles.

Kimkankwilt 01-27-2011 11:53 AM

I like all the colors..it should work great.

k3n 01-27-2011 12:29 PM

It will work a treat - it's in the Cubed book but in the red and black colour way and I think UglyCook has posted one from this fabric as well. I look forward to seeing yours. :-D

I checked - here's Ugly Cook's http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-48467-1.htm :-D

Ms Grace 01-27-2011 12:31 PM

klgreene 01-27-2011 12:55 PM

These OBW amaze me, I can't wait to see it complete.

KarenK 01-27-2011 01:25 PM

obie2 01-28-2011 03:40 AM

That's an interesting piece. I will be curious to see the designs patterns you get from this.

stitchinwitch 01-28-2011 04:11 AM

VERY nice

denilynne 01-28-2011 04:35 AM

dmeyers i'm waiting for an answer on this one, how do you know how many repeats on the fabric.

I take the fabric bolt...roll it out a little..Find a spot that sticks out to you..then find it again (or where it repeats again). Measure the space between those and thats the size of your repeat :) Make sense?

so I took and measured from the dragons nose

24" repeat

bjchad 01-28-2011 04:59 AM

I looked at that for a obw. Think it will be great. Will be looking forward to see how it works up.

So I put a few hexagons together last night...this is what they turned it to look like...wish I had more design wall space so I could both my OBW projects up!

mimee4 01-28-2011 06:08 AM

This fabric will make a beautiful, colorful OBW. It will be fun to see what blocks come out of it. I have my OBW fabric and hope to get started on it this weekend.

olebat 01-28-2011 06:40 AM

You have a good eye. This is definitely a good OBW selection. Do you carry a set of mirrors with you when you shop? When I see something interesting, I put the mirrors up and slide them around. Really don't even need mirrors with this print. It moves beautifully!

Karen Duncan 01-28-2011 06:53 AM

One block wonders are so much fun, but they are very addictive. Good luck.....That fabric should be fabulous...

I think your avatar needs a bigger bed.... ROFL!
