WOW!!! Those are all gorgeous!!! Good Job!!! :D :D :D

Very pretty! I like the bird fabric, too.

I think your blocks are delightful. Yup, I hope to make OBW a handsewing project after the first of the year when I retire. I have read - somewhere - perhaps on this board - that the right hand side of the printed fabric is usually in alignment. Some people just use only the right hand side after cutting the fabric in half lengthwise.

In any case, your work is beautiful. What size triangles are you cutting? You mentioned the triangles for the bird print were large. Have you found an optimum size for your second endeavor?

Much happiness to you and your family :)

I'm hooked on this style of quilt making. I've made 4 so far and have bought more fabric for more, of which I don't know if I want to admit how many. One thing I really like, is that they can be assembled so quickly. I cut repeats, strips and pieced half hexagons together in 4 1/2 hours. I too, enjoy how much the original fabric can appear so different, with this method. I generally make art quilts and this method really fits the need for playing with color and pattern.

It's not hard to line up your fabric. Just pick a spot where there's a sharp point in the pattern, one that's easily identified, that's where you stick the pin thru on each layer. Also, don't wash your fabric, but do iron it to get out any wrinkles as well as the fold from being on the bolt. If you pin carefully, the fabric strips stay alligned. Follow the directions in the book "One Block Wonders" by Maxine Rosenthal, and you won't be disappointed.

Such pretty fabric....those little birds are so cute. The OBW sure makes for some beautiful blocks.

Wel, well, well. I think those plum blocks are just plummy! Will you use English paper piecing to put these blocks together, now?

Suzi,
You are such an inspiration, this afternoon, to me!! :D

started. I just need to jump in, huh? :D Your blocks
