    What does "OBW" stand for? The quilts are very pretty.

    My assumption would be "One Block Wonder's" Which is the name of the style of the quilt.

    Hi Kirsten - this method is described in a book called One Block Wonders by Maxine Rosenthal - at least that's where i got it from. Don't know about Jenell though - sorry to but in Jenell but you know me! :lol:

    I love the pink one! My daughter would go crazy for one like that. I had my nose pressed to the screen peering at it! How do you quilt them BTW? The pansy one I did FMG stippling all over it. Was the first one I'd done on the machine - I usually hand quilt but it didn't seem worth the effort. I thought the quilting wouldn't/didn't need to really show and the FMQ just gives it some texture. Love to know what you think, Jenell! :D

    Kathryn, I had a meander done on the blue one, with echo quilting around the border flowers. It seemed the simplist thing to do. I wanted to try stitch in the ditch because it really is just diagonal rows after all, but my quilter talked me out of it.

    The pink one is quilted in about a 6" rose pattern. I trimmed it in a creamy crocheted lace and it really has a victorian feel to it. Not what I had in mind but I loved the end result. I am so tempted to make this one again, I wish I could find this fabric in soft purple!
