Starry Night
 

I just finished this One Block Wonder for my cousin who just retired from the NYC transit authority. He is coming to visit on Sunday. At first I didn't care for how the hexagons came together. I think I prefer lighter, brighter colors. My daughter helped pick out the border fabrics and as I worked on it, I began to appreciate it more. I also convinced myself that it was a nice masculine quilt. My daughter said it reminded her of Starry Night, so that is what I named it.

it came out beautifuly. with the contrasting light and dark colors and that touch of gold. he should be very pleased !

Beautiful quilt! :)

l just think these quilts are fantastic .
you never know what you are going to get out of the fabric

very nice

Your quilt is exceptional!! I just know that he's going to love it!

I would love to see the original piece of fabric.

Beautiful!!!!!

very nicely done

I always admire them and have not made one yet.

Yours is beautiful! Do you recommend a book or pattern??

I love this quilt. It always amazes me when you see the finished OBW quilt. It's hard to imagine what it will be like after seeing just the fabric.

Flat out gorgeous, and a perfect name!

Beautiful and you gave it the perfect name

perfect name for a lovely quilt.

Beautiful quilt and the name is perfect!

Definitely well named and congratulations on creating such a lovely quilt.

I think he will really like it. It is so pretty and does look like a starry night.

I want to tell you that you should get rid of it and I'll offer to take it off your hands.... but I don't think that will work.... It is one beautiful quilt!! Or should I say, "One more beautiful quilt"?

Wow - one of my favorite OBW's that I've seen! Awesome job on the name, the borders, the colors, etc. love it!

He will truly love your quilt!

Oh! my dear! it is breathtaking! I just love it! It takes me forever to do a OBW because I can't stop playing with the blocks!

It's totally GORGEOUS and your daughter is right...it DOES look like a starry night. Your cousin will LOVE it!

Gorgeous quilt!!!!

Fantastic name! It's beautiful and I'm sure will be appreciated for many years to come.

Perfect!!!

It definitely resembles Van Gogh's "Starry Night". You did a beautiful job on it!!

It does remind me of Starry Night, very very nice

those colors are fabulous! i love what you did!

that is a very striking quilt.

Oh my that is beautiful!

Great job! Love the colors.

I agree, I think it is stunning! Your daughter is right, it does look like a stars @ night!!!!

Wow, I love it and so will he!

This technique came from the Maxine Rosenthal book One Block Wonders. I have made 7 quilts using this book as my reference. Besides the hexagons, there is an octagon too.

Thank you all for your wonderful comments. I forgot to take a picture of the fabric and wish I had. I think the asian fabrics always lend themselves to fun OBW quilts. I thought about it, I ended 2012 with one in November and began 2013 with one this month. Have a great day.

My favorite pattern and it is lovely.

He's going to love it! You did such a gorgeous job on it.

It is a beautiful quilt! Gorgeous! :)

Beautiful. I've never been a fan of OBW but yours is outstanding.

Stunning. You are the fabric VanGogh!

It is a cool looking quilt, he will really love it.

What a beauty.
