:lol: :lol: No way will we ever tell you to Stop posting these K...they are tooo gorgeous!

And, let us know your new baby's name...whew..glad to find out its a she... :lol:

Well I can't think of anything namewise so am open to suggestions... Keep it clean, ladies! LOL

Oooh, another gorgeous OBW :thumbup: :thumbup: I love it!!

OH K....you HAVE to name her yourself....its kinda like having a pet though. You might have to spend some more time with her before she tells you her name.

I have Bernadette and Sally.

That is Stunning! Absolutely gorgeous! What does FMQ stand for? There are sooo many abbreviations on this site that I have no idea what they mean. Great Job! Are those quilts very hard to make? Is it a Kaleidoscope or what? Duh!!! I don't know alot.

FMQ= free motion quilting
OBW= One Block Wonder This block is made from a printed fabric. You cut the repeats apart, stack on top of each other exactly, cut into strips, then cut 60 degree triangles from the strips, making equalateral triangles. Each triangle is an exact copy of all the others in that stack, so when you sew them together they make a pattern like you'd see in a kaleidoscope. The process goes very fast, since each block is really made from 5 seams to make the block. The part that takes more time is figuring out your arrangement, before sewing your half hexagons together to make the top. See "One Block Wonders" by Maxine Rosenthal. Also "One Block Wonders Encore" by Maxine and Joy Pelzmann. They have another book coming out in April with more cubes in it.

k3n, very nice. It's really funny, I bought the exact same fabric for my first OBW...which I've yet to have time to begin. :cry: Thank you for giving me a sneek peek at what I could end up with. :thumbup:

Oh do it quick and post - it will be such fun to see two versions with the same fabric! :-D

I've actually got 4 repeats left over and am thinking of doing a 4 patch version with right angle triangles too!

nice

k3n and rb: I too have yardage of this same print! But I also have another chunk that's the same print and colors but enlarged so the flowers are 9 - 11" across! I originally bought it, to make placemats, but don't know now if I'll do that. Perhaps another OBW is in the making...

Yes FWL - do it! Are you done yet?! LOL

That is Awesome! What a great job!

Wow!!! Absolutely beautiful!!! I can see a bit of your feathers too, and what I can see looks great!!! :) :)

Another beauty! I love the names you choose.

Absolutely beautiful! Show us your FMQ too.

It is beautiful, I hope to make one about 2 quilts from now.

The fabric was so beautiful I'd have a hard time cutting into it. Do you know who mfg those daffofils in my colors??? Your OBW is amazing. Very nice. Thanx for sharing.

LOL does this mean you are easily amused??? :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I love this one K!! It is gorgeous as usual! I am impressed with how quickly you get these done!

The name is terrific but not as good as my One Block Woofer!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: I show it off all the time to people!! Not counting my mini how many have you done now?

I love that pattern. Your quilt is incredible and fully captures that design. Do you find yourself looking at fabric in a new light, that of the OBW design? My quilt friends and I are all doing that now. And we've finished three quilts each. :lol:

That is just neat , i just love those quilts. thank you for sharing and you did a wonderful job. Penny

Nice. It really does look like flames in a fire

Here's a close up of the border - leaves? feathers? or flames? :-D

It's a Benartex fabric Sara. :-D

Wel you know the expression 'little things please little minds!' :mrgreen:

I've made and quilted 5 full size (lap or bigger) and 3 minis plus yours. There's a full size top and a banner-shaped wall hanging waiting to be quilted. I've the blocks assembled for one more, plus the fabric for I don't know how many more! :lol:

Oh please post pics if you can - I'd love to see them!

Yes I'm always on the lookout for OBW fabric, it does make you look at fabric differently - and not only fabric! I mentally stack n whack wallpaper, rug designs, even a man's tatooed arm once. And my DH has caught it too - the other evening there was an ad on TV with a woman prancing around in a field of flowers and he started laughing. I said 'what's funny?' and he said 'I was looking to see if there was a pattern repeat in those flowers because I thought they'd make a nice OBW'!:lol:

working on one of these now interesting to do hope mine is as pretty as yours

My selvage says "Flower Mart" by Benartex Studio for Benartex # 3002
The larger print I have is called "Flower Show" # 2032 and also Benartex. It's the same print but the flowers are 9 - 11" across and the repeat is 24"
After closer inspection, the fabric I have might be in different colors. Mine seem to be more apricot, yellow and orangey-rust for the daffodil cups. This was after I looked at your last post k3n, of your closeup pic. of your border.

How funny! I love it when DH gets interested. Let's hear it for the supportive DH's! :mrgreen:

When you catch Hans using your sewing machine and or cutting out OBWs I want to see a picture of that!!! LOL My DH bought a Brother and says it is for him!! But we shall see if he uses it! LOL

very pretty!

I think we can safely say you are obsessed!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Or is that possessed??? :mrgreen: :mrgreen: by the One Block Wonders?? :lol: :lol:

I do love this one a bunch! It is so striking! And your feathering does look like flames. Love it Kathryn!! You do such fantastic work! And I can see how much you are enjoying the new machine!!

Mine is those colours - I think it's the flash, it's draped over the bannisters under a pile of other tops in the quilting queue and I just lifted them up, stuck the camera under there and snapped. :lol:

As for Hans using my stuff - NO WAY!!! :mrgreen:

Your OBW turned out so beautiful K. Have you started the next one yet! LOL!!!

Every time I see a OBW quilt I am in awe, they are just amazing.... love it!

warm quilt hugs, sue in CA

:-) Love it. I can see where you came up with the name for it :thumbup:

I came home from work two years ago to find my husband at my elna sewing machine, sewing patches on his leather jacket, my eyes must have poped, he looked up and said what, and I said thats close to a $600 machine your sitting at, and thats not a leather needle.

:shock: We should be able to password protect our machines! I'd have done my nut! :lol: :lol: :lol: (don't know if you know that expression - English for 'gone crazy'! :mrgreen: )

I was a little upset with him, so the next time he took it to a place were they sew leather. Now I cant work so no one touches the sewing machine. :| Penny

Awww Penny...thats too funny!! I'd have bought him a leather needle.. :lol:

no way I did not want him to use my sewing machine again. He now dose not touch my sewing machine. :lol: safer that way.
