Hey, you did great both in the pricing & choice of fabric! Can't wait to see the finished project. I still have to attempt an OBW but then I have other projects b4 I can start it!

Wednesday nights my BFF always comes for dinner and coffee. She leaves work, we eat, chat, and craft (she's a knitter, I usually sew something). After dinner tonight, I had her look at my design wall and tell me what she would do to make my blocks work. She shifted around a few things, and VIOLA! It's like magic. I just needed another set of eyes on it to make it work! I'm sewing that thing together tomorrow!
Here's the final layout:

I agree. sometimes all you need is a fresh set of eyes! It looks beautiful and I'm sure when it done you will love it. I've done one before and now watching yours I want to do another!

It's good to have a BFF to help out!
It's lovely now .... just wait and see how much lovelier it becomes as you sew them together!!!!!!!

Are you planning your next one yet?
It's addictive!

It is wonderful, how often is the repeat and did you get enough of the original to showcase it somewhere on the front or back?

QuiltE--
I have TWO that I want to do now!! How's that?
I think I will give my eyes a break and make the top I already have fabric for (red and aqua chevrons I planned some months ago) first, though.

I have a yard uncut still to put somewhere in the borders or the back. Not sure how I will work it in yet, though.
None of the blocks are the same, only 2 that I can tell are even really similar to one another.
The repeat on the original fabric was about 24 inches.

I think they are awesome, good choice of fabric!

Yes, my DD and I do that all the time. When she was living in Oregon we exchanged a LOT of Email pics when we were placing our hexagone blocks. Even taking a photo os the layout gives one a different perspective.

Caroline...
I think it was your daughter's OBW (black and white with Koi fish??) that first caught my eye--hers was SOOOO gorgeous. I honestly loved every single thing about that quilt! I stared at the photo you posted for a good while and then started researching how to make one. I threw all good sense to the wind, never even considering that it might be too difficult (it wasn't at all...it just LOOKS intimidating).
I have the two of you to thank for my current obsession! LOL
