Blocks that look like hollow cubes but end up hexagon shaped so they fit in with the OBWs - you piece dark, medium and light fabrics together to give a 3D effect. I'll post some pics when I make one I'm happy with! :shock: :lol:

That's an awesome squisky Amma!!! It will be fun to make OBWs with it.

K - Can you do a tute on the hollow blocks? I'd love to learn how, I think it would look good in the OBW quilt I'm doing now.

I am still nervous about starting a plain OBW and now you all are
talking about hollow centered ones??? :shock: :shock: :shock:

neck while attempting this technique***

Your fabric is beautiful!

I have alway's liked flowers on a black background. Was just at Hobby Lobby-must have missed this one or they were out of it. I'll have to check again.

Beautiful.

Hollow OBW's? Hmmmm
