OBW fabric. How did I do?
 
2 Attachment(s)
My quilting experience is very limited. But, I know what I love when I see it. Therefore, when I saw all the OBW's in the archives, I knew I had to try one. I felt so strongly about it that the day after I looked at them all, I went out to find fabric to try it on. Now...I don't have an unlimited pocketbook, so, I had to find something inexpensive to practice on. I finally found this fabric at Joanne's on the clearance rack and scored 5 yards for a mere $15. This made the process a lot less painful!
Here is the fabric:

And here are some of the blocks so far:

Your fabric choice is lovely and you did a great job matching the patterens in each one.

Lovely. Who would have thought you would get that magnificent white block? Let's see the whole thing put together!

Thanks for all the feedback! I'm feeling better about the process knowing I didn't just make this fabric work because I want it to!
The tutorial in the archives done by Cutebuns (THANK YOU, CUTEBUNS!! <WAVE>) really makes this intimidating process very doable. I am absolutely a novice, but, she explains this so thoroughly that even I can do it!!
I hope to finish cutting today and auditioning blocks.
More photos as I go along!!
