I like your quilts as well. I am rather new here - what does OBW stand for?

Take the double mirror tool with you to audition prints at the LQS. Move it over the fabric and you'll get an idea.

Just look for medium to large prints...the small dense prints don't work out well.


I started with Asian prints...the colors are so rich. I have used some of the large focal fabrics with success also.

6"x7" hinged mirrors. Includes angle gauge with grooves at 45, 60 and 90 degrees to hold mirrors in place for repositioning on fabric or quilt blocks. For use in viewing quilt blocks and pieces as they will appear when joined. DRITZ C3130


Google "quilt mirrors" for picture....sorry it didn't come through.

It's used a lot for block designs by some.

Thanks. OBW is One Block Wonder. I think the blocks must be the same as kaleidoscope blocks that I've seen on this site.
