I think that is my favorite OBW quilt I've seen yet! I can see everything you wanted to do!! Awesome!!

wow... looks great!!

wow, thanks for sharing!

That is a wonderful quilt. I love it.

WOW that's amazingly beautiful and cool

Nice touch with the fish swimming, the quilt lines look like ripples of water. Very nice!

Awesome!

This quilt is crazy amazing! Just Fabulous!

Wow! You did a nice job! The colors are gorgeous!

Gorgeous!!! :D

Fantastic - love the twist you gave it :)

Gorgeous, but I would have been reluctant to cut into it, too. You did a beautiful job with it.

What did you do and wacky stack on that, looks great!

Its just gorgeous! I thought when I saw the original fabric that the resulting hexes would be lots of different colors....they are and I love how you used them...great job on this one, it looks exactly like a reflective pool filled with Koi....Love it!

I absolutely love this. The quilting in the borders is so clever.

OMG!! I rarely send a "What a beautiful quilt..." message as so many are sent already! BUT ....this is sooooooooooooooooo beautiful and so creative. The fabric is stunning. I will be teaching a OBW to beginning quilters at the retires teachers' center in my town and I have never actually done one!!!! I took a course with Bethany...the lady who wrote a fabulous book on it....I bought another book on it....I bought two different fabrics to try it on and I will try it this summer so I know what to do and what not to do! My class knows I have not done this yet and they are laughing at my pain!!! We will have a great number of laughs but I am going to show them your gorgeous fabric and gorgeous work as well. May I photograph it from this site to do that? You have inspired me!!! Please let me know about the photographs. Thanks for your inspiration.

picking my jaw off the floor !! This is beautiful.

I NEVER would have thought of using this fabric for a OBW. It turned out beautifully! And your free motion quilting in the borders is perfect!

Thank you all for the lovely comments.


Phyl - have sent you a pm.

Oh my goodness. That quilt is stunning. You did a fabulous job on it.

Wow! Your quilt is so beautiful. I love it.

I agree with renee about the border. I'll be glad when I get the chance to learn how to do that. It looks difficult so I anticipate lots of practice first.

The inside of your mind must be an amazing place to "see" that quilt from the fabric. How brave you are to cut it up.
Spectacular!

Great job!

Great job!

That is gorgeous. It looks just like you wanted

you did good...really pretty quilt... :thumbup:

Pretty, but I wouldnt have been able to cut up such pretty fabric either!

STUNNING!

Beautiful!!!!!

GORGEOUS!
Good show! <wave>

Beautiful quilt!!! Your quilting makes it!!!!

Beautiful!!

Love it! I love OBWs and yours is awesome.

that is great and one of these days I will do a obw and hope it turns out like yours

WOW! I have to learn to do this!!! I have fabric, but I do not have courage. :oops: :oops:

Just beautiful.

Gorgeous quilt, it is amazing what you made out of this piece of fabric , congratulations what a wonderful job :-D

I did a Convergence quilt by Ricky Tims with that fabric. Not only is that fabric very nice to look at ladies, it is very nice to feel. My Convergence quilt was not put together well because i was still learning but no body was looking beyond and feeling beyond the fabric. if you ladies get a chance to touch it. please do.

you did a beautiful job on it, I love the fish swimming away. thank you for sharing. God bless. Penny
