I wanted to learn the OBW but when I put these blocks side by side they were way to busy. I was trying to place them and the blocks made me feel sick, lol. So I put the black in to calm it down.

I like it. I think the black (it's appearing black no my monitor anyway) sets it off nicely.

I lke the black background as it lets you focus on the prints. Pretty design!

I can see what you meant, but they look gorgeous on the black and really pop. Great thinking.

I like it.

Thanks! I am some what pleased with the effect. Been trying to post the fabric, Don't ask me how I got that in my stash??? Not a fabric I would pick and buy for sure!

I like it, too! What a beautiful beginning fabric you used.

Great job!!! I did the same thing with one of my OBW's as it was way too busy without the black.
Yours looks fantactic.

What creative talent you have! I love it!

Okay...you did really good. Your choice to design this way was probably a very good idea. What is OBW

Very good choice to add the black! It's very pretty.

You did well. It is better this way. To look good in a OBW, you need segregated areas of color not over all color.

It does look great.

Thank you all for the kind comments.

OBW stands for one block wonder. All the blocks are cut on layers of reapeat fabric. I had see lots of them on the board and had to try one.

Looks good!

Nice job. The background color really allows the hexagon colors to pop

very nice, I am facing the same thing and do not like to feel dizzy when looking at it. I do believe I will borrow your idea to star them. Your's turned out good and so will mine. Thank you

Oh Thank you!! Please post yours when you get it done.

Pretty fabric. Beautiful OBW.

Very pretty.

The dark does set off the bright flower print! Very pretty!!!

Personally I like your way much better the other way it almost looks like it is just a printed fabric you cannot tell that it has been cut up and put back togather on some of them.
I like black it just makes your colors POP..
