Just the top at this stage, it's in the queue to be quilted though and fairly near the front! It's 50" 75" and although my 9th One Block Wonder (from the technique created by Maxine Rosenthal in her books of this name) the first where I included 3D features of the head and tail. Sorry about the photo quality - technical issues! :-D

PS the original fabric is the right hand panel in the border.

Love the head & tail peeking out of the boxes! I have her OBW Encore!, can't wait to try it! :)

Butterflyspain 08-05-2010 02:15 PM

Ooh really really nice. Love your OBW and love the boxes and the way you made that snake come out of the box. Its so different and a neat idea putting the fabric on the bottom that it was made from.

So THAT was why I heard noises coming out of there in the night and this morning, half my stash was gone! :shock: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Thanks everyone, this one was really fun to do - all the fiddling about with the little pieces. Now I can't wait to start quilting it! :-D

Katrine 08-06-2010 01:27 AM

I've met these dragons in person folks - the colours are as usual much more vibrant in real life - and the quilt is fantastic!
Yet another hit Kathryn, and I'm looking forward to seeing it quilted.

winipb2 08-10-2010 09:30 PM

I am so ready to get back to my attempt. Life and work has thrown me some curves. I am ready for the design board but have not been able to get back to it. Sigh.... Love your work

plainpat 08-14-2010 02:51 AM

I look at all the OBW pics on this board & wonder if I'll ever have the nerve to start cutting.Each one is prettier than the last,just outstanding unique work by everyone.The pics are a learning experience.The black bg & borders do set off the blocks.Thanks for sharing.

Net 08-14-2010 07:42 PM

Lots of work - but worth it. It is beautiful. Good job.

Jingle 08-14-2010 07:50 PM

You make the most gorgeous quilts and this is another one. You do such great work.

fireworkslover 09-14-2010 04:40 AM

Very awesome! I wish I could see it all up close. I'm very intrigued about including some appliqued portions in the next one I make. Thanks for the idea!

I'm currently working on one with some Clarice Cliff fabric onto the border of which I am going to applique large scenes copied from the original print. It's such fun to come up with ways to embellish these. :-D

Ashamed to say that Tipping the Scales isn't quilted yet but I just got some great varigated orange thread to do something flamey in the black border.

Darlene516 09-14-2010 06:19 AM

That's fantastic. I bought the book but haven't had the courage to try one yet.

conniebrooks 09-14-2010 07:03 AM

So Cool.
