My first attempt at a OBW quilt... Tons of fun, and I'm really pleased with how it turned out.

If you start with a wonderful fabric, you can't help but end up with a wonderful OBW!

Brynn 08-31-2011 10:51 AM

Thank you! I'm planning on doing either a white or scarlet red border, with a black border beyond that. Might even do all three, haven't decided yet. :)

And would you believe I got it at Jo-Ann's? I wasn't going to spend $50 on fabric for a pattern I might mess up on, but now that I've got one under my belt I'm going to have to start eyeing the good stuff.

Your fabric created a fabulous OBW!

It has a real moody and ominous feel to it - like fog rolling in.

I love that feeling in this quilt--and it suits my mood at the moment, I'm working on it while waiting to hear back from what would be an awesome job opportunity.

Oh, I saw that fabric at Joann's and for some reason was drawn to it, but didnt' buy it. Now I know I should have made a OBW with it. Looks GREAT!

Black, white, and red is a winner!!

OBW's are like potato chips, it's hard to stop at just one. Your OBW is super!

CristyK1 08-31-2011 12:06 PM

Wow, I love it.

BizzieLizzie 08-31-2011 12:25 PM

Oh, WOW! That is wonderful. I am really in love with Red/Black & White together. This has taken that to new heights! Love it!

sushi 08-31-2011 01:02 PM

Several times I've considered buying that fabric for an OBW - but chickened out at the last minute. Yours is GORGEOUS! It gives me courage. :-)

jljack 08-31-2011 01:46 PM

I am not a great fan of OBW, but I like yours for the color placement. Good job!!

AngieS 08-31-2011 01:49 PM

wuv2quilt 08-31-2011 02:11 PM

One word...GORGEOUS!!!!!

KarenK 08-31-2011 02:22 PM

Classy!

karenm36 08-31-2011 02:22 PM

This is the exact kind of fabric design that I've been thinking would make a great OBW. So cool!!! Keep us posted!

Treasureit 08-31-2011 02:24 PM

I think those dragons look much better cut up!! Nice choice of fabric!

twixbar 08-31-2011 02:24 PM

Gorgeous quilt, great fabric.

Brynn 08-31-2011 02:28 PM

Hehe, thanks everyone! I think OBW's are great for neat designs on a budget; Jo-ann's usually has a bunch of large prints we'd never use otherwise, and with a 50% off coupon it makes the deal even sweeter.

MellieKQuilter 08-31-2011 03:16 PM

I have to say.. OBW is not one of my favs. However.. I really like yours! Funny how the fabric makes all the difference.

mtnative 08-31-2011 03:23 PM

Awesome!

debcavan 08-31-2011 04:38 PM

That is stunning, just simply stunning

daisey 08-31-2011 04:58 PM
