Beautiful job! I just finished sewing the binding on my first OBW about 20 minutes ago-they're kind of a pain to sew but aren't they lovely when you get them done? I tried glue on mine but quit after a couple rows because it made it so that I couldn't press the seams open properly. Maybe I was doing something wrong? I ended up using a different tip from this forum - clover clips!! I love those things now, don't know how I ever sewed without them!

Anyway, absolutely gorgeous quilt! You said you used a small triangle size? What size did you use? How big is this center part of the quilt now that its all stitched up? I ended up having to add extra borders to mine because it came out much smaller than I'd anticipated.

Gorgeous! Having made one about 4' x 5', your larger quilt shows a lot of patience. Love the fabric you started with!

We did one of these at our retreat last spring and isn't it the best surprise to see what you end up with!!!!

Wow! That has to be one of the nicest OBW's I have seen. Looking forward to seeing the completed project.

Your quilt is beautiful. It reminds me of red fall leaves and an early snow. Can't wait to see it finished.
