No peeking Maggiesmom
 

This is what I'm working on for my quilts for quilters swap partner. She said she likes surprises so I thought I'd post it over here :) She said she likes earthy colors. And, mentioned she would love a OBW. So... here's what I've got, still moving the blocks around a little... What do we think? I'm a little nervous, it's not as colorful as other OBW I've done.

I think she will love it. It is beautiful, be sure to show us when it is finished.

ohhh ahhhh! do you think she will peek?!

I think it's beautiful!

That is very pretty and elegant!

I think it is great. The flowers that are created add to the earthyness of the colors. It's hard, isn't it, to make something different than we would for ourselves and still feel confident that the partner will still like it even when it matches their specifications. Keeping going!

I would peek.... ha ha ha Its beautiful.. I like all the blocks.. and she is going to love it which ever way you decide to have them.

Beautiful, I think she will love it.

She will love it!

I love it :)

Very pretty I think she will love it.

Wow Shnn I AM VERY IMPRESSED GREAT JOB.

Oh Shannon, it's gorgeous!

Educate me please, what does OBW stand for? I've seen it several times but haven't figured it out yet.

best,

OBW is One Block Wonder -- the whole thing is made out of one fabric. Cutebuns did an excellent tutorial here on the board.

Thank you all for the feedback. This fabric is definitely a step outside my comfort zone. I have been nervous to tackle it, and this swap was the perfect fit for it. I think I have them arranged how I want them... now to decide on how the finish the edges before I sew them together....

Its lovely and she will love it.

Very pretty.

It's beautiful. And I always wondered how those went together - now I know. Thanks for sharing.

:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: that is going to be beautiful, she is going to love it when it is finished...

I love the softness of the subtle colors. Please be sure to share the finished project. Thanks for sharing this.

I think it is wonderful, she will love it.

Oh My Gravy! Are you kidding? She's going to LOVE it! Absolutely gorgeous! :thumbup:

Nice work in progress, I am sure she will like it. I like the obw quilts a lot. So much diminsion and surprising effects.
