The Title says it all ...... two more sleeps to my OBW course.

I'm excited and can't wait to see the results ........ here's a peek of what's to come!

This should be beautiful. Looking forward to seeing the completed quilt!! Thank you for sharing.

Don't hold your breath ... I really don't have time to be taking this course right now, but didn't want to miss out on it.

Of course, I know I will become possessed by it .... thus why I don't get everything done that I should!! :)

That is beautiful fabric!!! Can't wait to see your quilt.

Gorgeous fabric :thumbup: It going to be awesome.

Gorgeous fabric! Be sure to post pics after your class.

I cant wait to see the finished product! Gonna be awesome!

I would be excited too!! Love that fabric :D:D:D

Fabric is my kind of beauty...can't wait see results.

very pretty fabric.

Oh my goodness, this is such pretty fabric! Where can I buy some? Really, it's a dream fabric! Who makes it? Name?

pretty fabric!

Thanks all ... it's the 2nd piece I bought for the OBW. I bought one, then later saw this one and just HAD to have it. It's sat for a couple yrs as I waited for a course ... too chicken to start at it.

After finding this Board a week ago Saturday, I think I could have got my nerve up and gone for it!!!! See how wonderful all of you are! And what a positive environment this is!!! :)

We should have some idea of how the hexes look by Friday night!!

I think you have a good choice. Looking forward to seeing the finished quilt

Looks like it would make great designs. Look forward to seeing what you come up with.

Beautiful fabric.

That should give you a wonderful range of colors in your hexs.

You are in for a treat, I know you are going to love making the OBW's, they are tons of fun and always an adventure since you never know exactly what you are going to get. If you are like me and love surprises its going to be right up your ally. Dont forget to come back and post photos for us.

please let us see as you progress! That fabric is GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love flowers and Pink! Oh my that will be so pretty! :thumbup: How big will you make it?

I have no clue how big I'll go ... I'm thinking lap quilt size. I have lots of fabric/repeats, as I wanted to have enough for borders, and maybe even the backing.

OMG that fabric is gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D:D

Ooh, that will be so gorgeous, Waiting for finished pics.

Looks like fun now . I would like to see this when your done.

I have goose bumps............
Hurry,please......lol lol

ooooou pretty fabric! I can't wait to see the pictures of your blocks.

What more can I say, but OBW-Wonderful!!!!! :)

Course was great, and the teacher was such a blessing. One of those that keeps the stress level down, and seems to have the instinct as to just what you need ... and just enough coaching, but not overbearing. And bonus ... they have design walls for all of us to use ... and too, she pressed so we could keep sewing!! :) Love having a Personal Assistant.

Since coming home, I sewed a bit on Friday night .... and again last night. Now have all my hexes done. Although, I am considering cutting and making more ... will do some measuring and determine how large I really want this to be!

With the paler fabric, it's not the WOW factor of the punchier bright ones ... I'm quite pleased though with the softer look. My pic is a little washed out on the colour for you to see. Maybe when I get them on my design wall, the lighting will be different and give a truer colour?

Once I do get them all on my fuzzy wall, I will post it.

In the meantime, here's a pic to show how it's starting to shape up ...............

The challenge begins now ... of how to get the hexes into the right position.

Here's the first attempt. I think what I need to do is to start with the darker ones in a corner and then gradually fan out in colour groups, with the lightest in the diagonally opposite corner.

Maybe?

Unfortunately, the colours are not coming out so good online. And not being a geek at such, I don't know if there's anything I can do to help get them better?

I think its beautiful! I have a OBW on my design wall now.. it has been for a year lol. I think its the hardest part..decideding placement. I looked at yours and my eye went right to the white...use the white in the center as focal point..and then go where they lead you. We are so good at telling others what to do lol...Sweetie its your quilt..do it the way you love it : ) It will be beautiful!

I agree! ... mine and do it my way!

Though I do love this Board for the input and suggestions from others. You see, I hadn't even thought of starting with the white (which is actually a pale blue) in the centre, and going out from there! Whether that'a what I do or not ... I like the idea for a try at it.

You have a beautiful piece of fabric there! Looking forward to seeing the completed quilt! Love it!!

Ta Da .... the finished product ...........
