These boxes are made with eight stacked right triangles, every other triangle reversed to the back of the fabric. The focus fabric was a large tropical leaf print. I really liked the turquoise and avocado green combination. Super easy to sew as long as the triangles are cut small enough so that you don't have a bias problem :)

Great job. I love it.

This is just stunning (did I use that word already? :mrgreen: )

Haven't tried that reverse of the fabric thing yet but I will! :-D

Thanks! The mirror images are fun - well, actually, since I've done them with people and animals, sometimes they get a bit strange! But, if your don't mind a two-headed hockey player, or an eight -legged cat, they're fun! I just seldom see a fabric where the back is close enough in color to the front to do the mirror image.

I've done an OBW layout with chickens - some love it and others find it creepy - all those headless chickens and beaks and eyes kaleidoscoping round! :mrgreen:

Yes, I've done chickens as well and I know what you mean. If is funny the ones that bother some people - on Flicker, I posted one the other week with fish and it bothered several people, however, the one with the cut up hockey players didn't seem to get anyone :)

Very pretty! Love the colors!

just_the_scraps_m'am 08-11-2011 04:31 AM

gorgeous blue & a green i can live with!
thanks for sharing how you did this...would have taken me forever to figure this out!
the overall assymetry {color}is certainly an eyecatcher
the white sashing is a bold surprise i wouldn't have figured out either
it all seems to come together no matter what your choices are--such talent!!!!!!
how many ribbons have you won, anyway?

debcavan 08-11-2011 07:08 AM

That is stunning. Love those colors too

alikat110 08-11-2011 08:55 AM

I just want to say "WOW"!!!!!

I don't enter shows anymore, but rather just share on the Internet, which is great fun :)
