One of a kind, for sure. Love the fabrics and your work.

Gorgeous quilt.

Dazzling and impressive are some words that come to mind when describing your gorgeous quilt. Thank you for sharing pictures of the before, during, and after. I am sure your daughter is pleased!

It is one of the most beautiful OBWs that I have ever seen. I have never had any desire to do one before, but I might try one now.
Thanks so much for sharing.

Very very pretty!

Great job :thumbup:

Totally stunning!!! Great job!

Very nice!

Beautiful!! I hope to get up the nerve to try one someday.

I love it. So do you just cut, piece the blocks and then lay them out to decide where to put them or is there a plan of where they go before you cut?

Great quilt and fabric choice. I'm amazed at your courage to FMQ such a big project for the first time. You did an amazing job and I love the quilt pattern.

Beautiful!

Very pretty quilt.

You are too hard on yourself. It is lovely. The way you placed the blocks in great! Your quilting is fine too!

That is a beautiful quilt. It reminds you of Vincent Van Gogh's "Starry Starry Night" painting too. Gorgeous.

Thanks Sally! Yes, that is what my daughter said too.
I had the Don McClean song stuck in my head the whole time I was laying out the blocks. I love that song. ;-)

I love this quilt!! My favorite OBW yet!!! Wonderful fabric choice by your daughter and terrific work by you. The way you organized the blocks is absolutely stunning. I just might have to try one some day.

Yup, you just cut, piece and lay them out. I played with the layout of the hexagons for about a week before starting to strip quilt them together. And I "tested" that fabric on my computer first too. (see page 6 of this topic for an example of what I mean)
But overall, OBWs are a very serendipitous approach to quilt making, which is what makes it really fun.
