Hello everyone - here's my latest One Block Wonder using the technique from the books by Maxine Rosenthal. This kind of turned into a giant bookmark during the design process - I'm even thinking of getting a tassel for the point! It measures 30" across and 60" from top to tip. The original fabric is in the top panel - I love this fabric! I had 4 repeats over so I made some QST kaleidoscopes but haven't decided how to set them yet!

I also was a bit braver with my FMQ and went for contrasting threads - purple centres and red flowers - to echo the poppies. Thanks for looking! :-D

That is really pretty, wonderful job.

wow! it is just lovely!

It's lovely, always amazes me how different they come out compared to the original fabric. I agree with you, it needs a tassle on the end.

I love your OBW. the fabric is beautiful. Great job!

Beautiful job on the blocks and the quilting! What size are the blocks? They look very small.

Lovely! Beautiful fabric, I love that shape, and the bit of original fabric across the top.
The fmq poppies are just the ticket in the borders!

Its really pretty!

sure is pretty

Wow-I love that. I also like the size-manageable (sp?). You did a really great job on your FMQ.

Lovely!

That is free motion quilting?! What a fantastic job! And love your fabric.

Turned very pretty, love the colors.

OMG.. I LOVE that.. very good job.. and I like the contrasting quilting.. excellent choice!!

sure is pretty!! Love the colors

Thank you everyone - I'd have to go measure to be sure but I think the strips were about 2 1/2", pocoellie.

WOW!!! You are such an artist! What a beautiful OBW Kathryn!!

What size were your hexagons? Are they smaller than normal? What a beautiful piece--the colors are so rich.

I cut my strips at 2 1/2" - just went to measure to be sure! I felt the need to go a bit smaller to really hack up those poppies! The hexs finish at 4" straight edge to straight edge and 4 1/2" from point to point. :-D

lovely.

Yay is that a beauty. I do love the dripping-down sort of movement from poppies on top to the point... can see a tassel to finish it all right! Thanks for sharing.

Excellent! Well done.

Very Pretty!

I LOVE THIS! BEAUTIFUL!

Lives up to its name. Stunning results. Love the quilting also.

BEAUTIFUL! :thumbup:

Ditter

That's gorgeous. Yea - a tassle!

Wow, you did it again! It looks absolutely fabulous! And your FMQ is beautiful. Wooo Hooo!!!!

Double post! Oops! :hunf: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

wow love it all, fmq great too. :lol:

That is just beautiful. I love the original fabric and the way you used it in the wall hanging. It turned out great. The quilting on the border is awesome. Thanks for sharing.

It's beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing. I have a somewhat better understanding of OMW from your close ups and the uncut fabric.

That is beautiful!
Looking at everyone's OBW's makes me think of trying one...

WoW!!!!

Fabulous!!!

Just beautiful and poppies are my favorite. I wish I could grow them, but they never make it. At lease I can have it in fabric

you used to be my BFF. now i hate you :hunf:

Wow, from you BW, that is the highest praise! :mrgreen: :lol:

Aww, BW, if I can do it so can you!

k, are you better? Don't yell at the kids (or Hans) too much. You need to save your voice for our date! :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Yes, lots! Just got a really horrid taste in my mouth, trying to get rid of it with wine. :mrgreen:
