This OBW is awesome!! You do such a great job with these quilts.

I've sewn together my first OBW and am ready to trim and apply borders.

Are the cubes hard to construct? I'm thinking I'd like to incorporate some into my next OBW....these are addicting, like eating potato chips, hard to stop.

Also take care to keep the light, medium and dark value fabrics in the same position throughout - my light always shines from top left! :-D The basic instructions are in the second book OBW Encore! :-D

This and your Triptych are my favorites. I love the head and tail!

Those two are my own favourites too! I enjoyed doing the head and tail but I swear it took me about half a day, trying to get the centre triangle in the block they're coming out of just right so the body on that piece lined up with the escaping part and the triangle in the next block! :shock: Fun though! :D :D
