Fabulous. I love OBWs and it really is not all that easy finding workable fabrics. This is wonderful. And you'll have so much fun putting it all together. I love the aspect of "Oh! Look how this turned out!" as you go along!

Beautiful, I think I am ready to tackle a OBW now.

The fabric I really want to try with is an Asian panel. It's a whole pagoda scene with people and mountains and ocean. I think stacking 6 panels and whacking them up would result in some really fabulous hexagons!

You are going to have such a beautiful completed quilt. For a novice you've done so well. The colours are lovely and you have made such a good job of the cutting. Well done

Great choice of fabric. I'm waiting for the end result. Keep up the good work.

thanks for the encouragement, ladies! my toddler is about to take a nap, so I can try and make some progress!

Wow! I have always loved that block too, but been to chicken to try it out. I love the look you have gotten out of fabric that I wasn't too wild about! I may try this after all.

Great start! What I especially like about the OBW in the 6 triangle sections, is you have 3 equal sides to turn to get the look you want. OBW makes you look at fabric in a whole new way. Your choice is going to make a beauty! I have a half a bolt of weird fabric waiting for me after I complete some UFOs. It has large black and white birds on a turquoise background. Not something I would normally buy but it was inexpensive and I think it will look good chopped into pieces. We will see?
