I am so excited. I don't even know how I got to the Quilting Board but I saw some thing called One Block Wonder Quilt and fell in love. I ordered the book but got impatient and came back to the Quilting Board and found a wonderful Tute by cutebuns and using her tute this is what I have started. First pic is the fabric, and following pics show the cutting results.

I am so jealous! I just can't seem to find the 'right' fabric for this. You have a fabulous set of blocks going!

WOW! Your fabric is going to make a stunning quilt. I shall follow your progress with interest.

Loving the way these are turning out for you :!: :!: Isn't the tute from Cute the easiest to follow :?: :?: I have mine laid out and ready to sew in rows - but life has gotten in the way. Hope to get back on it soon.

We'll all be watching your progress as you built your quilt. Love the fabric, it will be spectacular!

Awesome fabric! Love how it works for the OBW...
I used just the red/black flames for a focal fabric in a red/white/black quilt for my DGS. |
That is really going to be stunning!!! Keep us posted with pics.
|
this appears to be very similar to the Stack and Whack... tomorrow, ifmit's okay, I send a picture of my very first quilt made with difficulty. And when I finished it, I was disappointed that after the sid ws finished and the binding seemed a bit twisted, after ears of washing and using and grand children wrapped in it... all those whinklrs, etc. now look like I planned it that way....
|
I did the same thing, I just bought the book last week and and got the ruler in the mail last week, so now, I am trying to find just the right fabric too. I LOVE your fabric..go get the dragon!!! Joanie

I am finally going to be able to get back to my OBW. Life and full time work has kept be away from my OBW. I go on vacation on Friday!!! Just going to the timeshare on the lake. Taking my machine and "STUFF". Grandkids are all busy soooo-- Only adults who can talk about or bring a machine and sew are welcome to share my vacation this year. Anyone in the Houston area I will be on Lake Conroe just north of Conroe in 2 bedroom 2 bath, Large rooms to sew in.... Send me a message for my cell phone and directions. Besides I may need some help this the overall design of this OBW.

I have made progress. I have all my half hex's sewn together. But wonder of wonder I find that because I did not starch my fabric BEFORE cutting that I had some crawl and not all the triangles were the same. Have to go back and resize all the half hex's to a uniform size. I don't think it will detract from the over all effect. Will let you know how that works out.

Perfect fabric choice for the OBW. Keep us posted on the progress. Looks to be stunning.
