Oh, I so love this. One of my favorite OBW fabrics ever! I love how it turned out with hexagons! I did it in octagons (cuz I do not like making the hexagons ... love how they look, just can't do them ... they make me crazy!!! I know most people like to make them!) I am posting a pic of mine to show the contrast and what I did with the dragon ... hope you don't mind. Thought people might like to see the differences in the two kinds of blocks! Thanks for sharing. I so wanted to see this fabric in a hex! It is awesome!

Wonderful! The red diagonal through the centre is really striking. I recognised the fabric from the book too - I'm glad you're recommending it to ppl - it really IS straightforward if you go by the book, isn't it? And aren't cats great at 'helping' with the layout of OBW blocks? :lol:
Karen K - I was just thinking I'd go and look up your octo one to see the difference so thanks for posting it here. :-D I always loved your dragon one and you may remember that it inspired me to finally make an octo one myself but I'm still a hex girl - the octos are more swirly due to the two extra segments but I think the hexes blend better as they interlock - plus making and placing those setting squares for the octos drove me nuts! Each to their own, I guess. :D |
Wow Karen K! The octos look fantastic, thank you for sharing yours! It's amazing how the same basic pattern can yield such stunning differences; I especially love how you varied the size of your blocks.
|
If it was me - I would be doing a happy dance. Love the shades of three colors and the block layout you are showing. I would, however, move one of those dark red blocks so that it isn't that close to and in line with the other one. I would probably put one in about the 4th row and 6-7th column.
|
Wow!
|
That is great fabric. I used it in a quilt for my son a while back. Its really nice quality.
I'm not the biggest OBW fan but yours came our really cool! Love it. |
WOW! Beautiful Quilt! Thanks for sharing!

I like the way k3n described the difference between the octs and hexes. I don't mind piecing either. But if I was undecided about which way to go with a particular fabric, that would be a great way to make the choice. I'm really entranced by all the movement in this one (octs)- all those whirlpools/vortices churning away, while the hexes in the op were much more subdued (because of the blending). Love them both. Thanks for posting. |
That is so cool! I love your results!
|
Stunning and sophisticated! I'm not usually drawn to black and red quilts, but yours is outstanding!!
|
It is gorgeous!
|
Ohhh. That is very striking!

Great fabric choice = wonderful quilt!
Very striking!!! |
great job..thank you ...i also have that fabric now i know what to do with it... do you know how many yards you used :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
|
Your quilt will be beautiful. Nice arrangement of the blocks.
|
Your quilt reminded me of something I saw once on an old map. In the areas that were still unknown to the map makers of the day, were printed these words "Here there be Dragons". I guess they thought if they did not know what was there, it must be where dragons live. It would be a great name for your quilt "Here There Be Dragons" IMHO :thumbup:
|
Beautiful quilt. I can't believe how many different color ways that material came in. Great choice of starter fabric. you did a wonderful job.
|
Amazing! someday SOME DAY - I wil make one!
|
WOW that is probably the nicest OBW yet.
|
Absolutely gorgeous ! I have always wanted to do an OBW, its on my list !
|
Love it! :thumbup:
Dragons for the backing? |
Dramatic. Wonderful choice of fabric and pattern.
|
Really nice, I'm working on my second one right now. Yours in gorgeous!
|
Love how that came out! Your arrangement is superb!
You did say you still have a piece with the dragon intact? That would be even more awesome to puffy applique the dragon over the border so the red section becomes his flames...And I'm one who does not 'do applique'. |
Stunning... I love it!
|
I have this very same fabric. My Granddaughter made a quilt for her bed in black and white and we used this as the backing and made pillowcases with it also....her room is all asian themed and this material is just perfect with her room.
|
The fabric you used for your OBW is super and it will really make a beautiful quilt when finished.
|
It is beautiful!
|
Wow, that fabric sure made a pretty OBW! I like your border ideas. Thanks for sharing.
|
Absolutely gorgeous!
|
WOW, what a striking quilt, love the original fabric.
|
Now that's a great one!! Love how the colors came together :-D
|
love it
|
Gorgeous!
