My trial obw

Have set out some of my Obw blocks to have a look . I have found another piece of fabric so maybe will do a few more as there are only enough to make a bed runner at moment and I don't really want one.

looking good

Looks great as a OBW!

PaperPrincess 11-21-2013 02:37 PM

really a great start! If you don't want a bed runner, you might consider a long narrow shawl-type throw. Back it with flannel. Sometimes I just want something around my shoulders, especially if I'm going to be getting up and down a lot.

Very pretty, you may be able to add more from a different fabric, like yellow and make a quilted cover.

very nice!!!!!

You could also use some of Bethany Reynolds ideas for different settings and use plain blocks or something to create a bigger area. Those are just beautiful. Or meander on over to Pinterest and see some ideas there or Google images. Looks like you might have enough blocks for a different setting.

I saw this setting which would be good when you have fewer "squares."

That is really nice -- I want to try this process -- just hope when I do that it turns out as nice as yours.

Very pretty.

beautiful so far

WTxRed 11-22-2013 04:04 AM

I'm loving it! If you want to go larger - you could do some shades of black and then some shades of the rose/pink (?) color and have the real colorful blocks swirl between those 2. i think a lap quilt would be awesome!

Coming along great.

mom-6 11-22-2013 06:04 AM

Beautiful!
Another way to put them together that will make it quite a bit larger and allow you to see the individual designs created, but still maintain the "flow" is to use setting triangles of a solid or blender in between.

Very pretty!

newjeepgreen 11-22-2013 08:23 AM

Mom 6 I like the sound of that but wouldn't know what size to make the triangles. How would I go about it. Thank you all for kind remarks. Remember this only started as trial with curtain fabric but it looks so good I may try and do something concrete with it.

really a great start

cpcarolyn 11-23-2013 07:49 AM

Very nice. Good job.

wendiq 11-23-2013 08:31 AM

I made a wall hanging, didn't have enough fabric for more, but isn't it fun to see how each block turns out???? I had a ball making mine. Keep saying I will make another, but haven't :( A suggestion...be sure to include a piece of the "whole" fabric to compare your blocks to (like maybe the border).

JanieH 11-23-2013 08:32 AM

OBWs are so magical! I really like your fabric choice - you have done a great job!

mjhaess 11-23-2013 12:14 PM

Looking good....

jpmaroni 11-23-2013 12:34 PM

Wow to both the quilts. Love the way a large print can make interesting blocks.

Quilt Fan 11-23-2013 01:23 PM

This is beautiful and they are so much fun to watch the pattern grow. You could square it up with black hexi pieces and add a black or pink border to enlarge some more.

wildyard 11-23-2013 03:38 PM

ruthrings, I just love that setting for the obw blocks!! I saved the photo for a reference~~

Mine is done with the 8 layers, but wanted to show how I made it larger and also how I used up some scraps by making the 4Ps in the border. You could get the same effect around your blocks with the triangles as someone mentioned.

ManiacQuilter2 11-23-2013 04:03 PM

Really nicely done !!

cowgirlquilter 11-23-2013 05:01 PM

Awesome!!!!!!!!!
