Wonderful addition to this quilt.
|
WOW! I'm impressed! The first thing that popped into my mind was "In the midst of chaos, you can still find beauty". I agree that a whole quilt of these blocks would be dynomite! In 22 years, have never seen this pattern with the hole in the middle. Pattern name? I love 3 dimensional quilting! Great idea!
|
Beautiful!
|
I love the the cubes. Were they appliqed on or done as part of the design. Makes me want to do something with the one block wonder.
|
What a great addition in the blocks. They really make the whole quilt pop
|
Are you kidding? I think it turned out great!!

It always amazes me what the OBW does to fabric !!!!! |

The cubes are awesome.

Your original blooks may be somewhat understated compared to some OBWs, but I LOVE how they turned out!!!!
|
I love the blocks on there , great imagination you have. I never would of thought of that.Nice job!
|
The quilt looks very pretty both with the cubes and just looking at a section without them. Maybe a solid border would have focused on the center more and reduced some of the business.
|
I really like the cubes, they really "made" the whole quilt! They look so artistic. Did you applique them on there?
|
Really excellent! Cubes add a whole new character.
|
I love it with the cubes added.
|
Luv the blocks...I think that it saved the quilt. Some fabrics just do not lend themselves to OBW. I found that out using a paisley print for a four patch posy. I turned out really bad.
|
Very nice, like the cubes.
|
Uh-oh...I chose the exact same fabric for my OBW. The good news is that I LOVE the way your quilt turned out (even without the cubes) and I can't wait to start. I think I will leave the cubes out of mine...mostly because I haven't the first clue how to make them....LOL!

Nice

Love the fabric, the cubes are nice, but I like it without them.
|
I really do like it. Very different. The cubes really did set it off and add that contrast. Good eye with that decision.
|
I don't get the cube thingy, for me it would be a no, but I love your quilt with or without the cubes. The fabric is great.
Then again, I'm a newbie and I'm not that creative. |
Thank you to all for comments on this quilt - it is such fun to get opinions - "cubes yes" - "cubes no" - "fabric great" - "fabric busy". I love Quilters - everyone has their own taste and style and they are all wonderful. THANK YOU
|
either way is really pretty but I am loving those cubes on there
|
Very nice

Fast Forward to 2016 - I also bought the same fabric. I finished my top recently...

it's a great quilt!
|
The cubes , IMHO, are fine but I honestly didn't think it was too busy before. I thought it was beautiful. Still is. Great work.
|
I love OBW quilts! Thanks for sharing!
|
very nice!!!
|
Amazing work!!!!!!!!
|
I am fascinated with those cubes, but I am too chicken to try one. They really calmed it down. As to not liking it, you could donate it someplace. People are really appreciative when you give them something from the heart.
|
You have great color instincts. I LOVE the cubes!
|
You border choice really sets this off. Love the purple and orange with the yellow flange.
