When you say "offset", do you mean off center?
See my post above about 9-patch pizazz quilts. I think that's what she means.

I love this fabric, so beautiful! Lots of good ideas on what to use it for.

It would be a perfect fabric for this pattern:

I have been told that also. But it is not true. Some of the best OBW I have seen had lots of open background.

I love this fabric. I love anything Peacock. You should buy any and all of it. That of course is my opinion. lol

That is gorgeous fabric. It would make a nice OBW but, man, I'd hate to cut it!!

Hoffman is also going to be coming out with a peacock collection. I think I will need to see that one, too, so I can decide which one I like better! (And no, it's not on their site yet. I think they will debut it at Market this weekend.)
I want the Hoffman. It is shown on page 7 in the special advertising section of the December Quilter's World. It is beautiful.

I have been in love with this fabric from the first time I saw it. I plan on purchasing some to make a quilt for me.

I love them. I would make something out of them for sure. Maybe fussy cut or applique.
