    We had the gal who wrote the books on the one block wonders speak at our guild meeting last week. She was good and funny and I really enjoyed seeing the quilts she brought with her from Minnesota.

    Oh oh oh oh oh. It's absolutely incredible!!!!! Can you post a picture of the original fabric(s)?

    I'm currently working on a OBW using some Africa print (has leopard, zebra and giraffe skins in it, but no faces). I really like your idea of appliqueing on faces of animals.

    Thank you all so much for the nice comments. I am a little intimidated because of all the beautiful work I see on this board. Glad you liked it.

    Newest nana - here is a picture of the original fabric that you asked to see.
    Yes, the animals will be appliqued on top of the blocks. Cute buns was the instigator and the one answering all the questions at the beginning of this adventure. The book is called One Block Wonders Encore.

    Again thank you everyone for your kind comments.

    Sorry - wrong picture - that was at the very beginning. Trying again.

    This is an amazing design! Did you applique the hole in blocks (not sure of name) on top of the blocks? You did a wonderful job. Can you send or post pattern?

    Gorgeous, your son will love it and you did a gorgeous job on it too. I didn't see any mistakes and he won't either.

    That is one amazing quilt. There is no way you could "describe" that to him especially a non quilter who hasnt seen a OBW before..and you embellished it with Applique which adds to the unique quality. He will be THRILLED.
