WOW! I love it! Don't change a thing. I so want to try doing a OBW but I'm so intimidated by the fabric selecting process. After seeing yours though, I think I'm gonna' be braver next time I go to the fabric store. Great job!

That is not a wild quilt at all. I would venture to guess the original fabric was a bunch more bold than that. Hey, post of pic of the before you whacked it and after!!

Linda, I appreciate your opinion, that little gray is something I am not sure about I may change it and see..thanks.

Yes, I added the cubes to the OBW hexagons.

All I see is a great quilt! I love how the blocks are not all centered and symmetrical. That will be a challenge for me when I get to do one.

OBW addict adding her 2 cents worth. I would loved to have seen the original fabric and the quilt without the blocks, the colors look stunning. Wild? Wild is in the eye of the beholder!! LOL If you like them, that is all that counts. I think they are great!!!
