Hi everyone! Here's another OBW I just finished. I call it 'Fanning the Flames' because it reminds me of fire plus it amuses me to think up names for these! Doesn't take much... :mrgreen:

I'm also posting a picture of the original fabric. For OBW fans who like to know the details - the repeat was 12", I used a single repeat and cut the strips at 3 3/4" wide and the finished quilt is 44" x 42". I wanted something fairly small to practice FMQ. Thank you for looking. :-D

Very nice! You are da queen of OBW's. How's the new baby doing?

k3n 03-04-2010 01:08 AM

The new baby is wonderful! Keeps me busy all day but let's me sleep nights!

Stummel 03-04-2010 01:52 AM

I love it! Great colours also! May I just ask what OBW stands for? Another newbie question...

Great name for it.

tlrnhi 03-04-2010 03:10 AM

That's really pretty!!
I'm thinking that's another one to snatch! :)

WHAT NEW BABY??

k3n 03-04-2010 03:11 AM

Thanks everyone! Stummel, check out the Virtual Section here on the board to see more about OBWs - there's a link highlighted in blue at the bottom left of the page. Always glad to recruit more victims to the OBW obsession! LOL

Don't get excited - I haven't been preggers and not told you! I got a Janome 6600P at the weekend. :-D

k3n 03-04-2010 03:16 AM

PS - You'll need a really big, strong suitcase if you plan on swiping that as well!!!LOL

Oh, WHEW!!!
I knew you got the new machine. Thought maybe a new furbaby or something! lol

I just showed hubby this new one of yours. He LOVES it! He asked me....is she one that you are going to go and visit? If so, take another suitcase. LMAO!!

Yes we are! A friend of ours says we are made for each other. His favorite veggie is peas and mine is carrots. Peas and carrots just go together...get it? lol

barnbum 03-04-2010 03:49 AM

Oh that's beautiful. I don't even want to know how you gals make these quilts--I just want to keep seeing them.

I like the name. I get naming them. :wink:

Thanks Karla! Our quilts are our 'babies' right? We HAVE to name 'em! :-D

Mine is carrots too! When I was little, if there weren't any on my plate, I'd scowl and say to my Mum 'no orange?!' I thought a plate looked plain boring without some carrots on there! We nearly always have carrots plus a greeny cos it's good for us! :mrgreen:

tlrnhi 03-04-2010 04:20 AM

I'm thinking we all need to go to Karla's house, hug on some horses and learn OBW. When do you think you can get a flight, K???

LovingIzabella 03-04-2010 04:31 AM

Another absolutely beautiful and stunning OBW-great job I love it!
hugs

(who is thinking her OBW will look no where near as good :-( )

I'll just jump on my broomstick and be there in a flash! :mrgreen:

knlsmith 03-04-2010 04:33 AM

Wow! That is gorgeous!

I can't wait to start mine. Seeing everyone else's makes me wish I had more time. Hopefully start this weekend.

bailey 03-04-2010 05:58 AM

Another gorgeous quilt! Love it and great name. Enjoy your new machine.

beachlady 03-04-2010 06:12 AM

K- another gorgeous quilt!! You need to come to the states and give us lessons or at least a kick in the butt to make one. Afraid to start!

sandpat 03-04-2010 06:16 AM

Oh crap....now I'm drooling over another one!!! K, I just love how your "whip" these out! I'm just plain ole' :mrgreen: Congrats on your new baby too....I saw where you got him/her??? , but I don't think I told you I was excited for you.

Thanks for sharing the fabric info on this one...I might just have to find some fab...you know so I can stick it in my stash and pet it telling it that "someday" it will grow up to be a OBW.... :roll: :lol:

Esqmommy 03-04-2010 06:28 AM

I love that quilt kathryn, wow!!!!

shaverg 03-04-2010 07:03 AM

OMG K, I have got to try a OBW. That is stunning.

jewelps 03-04-2010 07:05 AM

very pretty

fireworkslover 03-04-2010 07:19 AM

Ooooh! So pretty. I love it. I like how you repeated the original leaf shape in your border. At least that's what it looks like to me. Awesome OBW. Congrats!

That's them feathers again - guess I really am 'hooked'! I thought they might be like licking flames, to follow the name of the quilt but then maybe I'm being fanciful... leaves are good too! :-D

Patti - she's a she - Hans might get jealous if it was a 'he' the amount of time I'm spending! No name yet though, hmmm have to come up with one! :mrgreen:

Thanks everyone - if you ever get sick of me posting these, you WILL all let me know, won't you? Warning - there are another two draped over the bannisters waiting to be quilted! 8-)

I'll never ever be sick of seeing the absolutely gorgeous OBW's, every one different and every one amazing.

billswife99 03-04-2010 08:07 AM

Oh I love this one! And the name too, I have to name all mine too. I thought I was weird at first but I see more of us doing it. ;) :mrgreen: You know it looks like there is enough interest for Cutie to start another quilt along......

k3n 03-04-2010 08:09 AM

Oh yes, Cutie has done a great job in recruiting more victims to the OBW cause!!!

Jim's Gem 03-04-2010 09:11 AM

alaskasunshine 03-04-2010 09:39 AM

belmer 03-04-2010 09:47 AM

It's just beautiful.

Kara 03-04-2010 09:49 AM

I've seen a few of these, and I'm really thinkin' I need to try this!
One fabric, soooo many different ways to use it!!
Incredible!

mytwopals 03-04-2010 10:10 AM

Very pretty. :thumbup:

cindyg 03-04-2010 10:21 AM

Oh, my. I love it. I just bought one of those books and I can't wait to get around to making one of those quilts. Yours is just beautiful!

k3n 03-04-2010 10:56 AM

Thanks everyone - yes, try it! But look out - they're addictive!
