One Block Wonder


I've never been even remotely tempted to try this quilt.  One fabric, one shape.  Not my style.  Until I started following the discussion of the upcoming class on the Learning Fiber Arts group.  So much excitement!  Then I remembered I have six yards of a beautiful Kaffe Fasset "Bekah" print.  The flowers are six to eight inches, a large print.  It was one of those what-was-I-thinking, whatever-will-I-do-with-it purchases.  It fits all the criteria; it hasn't even been washed (according to the directions, you aren't supposed to wash it) which is surprising, as I usually wash all fabric as it comes in the door.  I've signed up for the class and borrowed the book from my daughter and now I'm wondering, will I be able to wait until the class begins?  Is there any rule against getting a headstart?  I do work more slowly than most.  ;o)

  2. So glad you are joining us on the OBW! It is fun! I can't wait to see how yours turns out. I'd encourage you to wait - though I know it's hard - Deb had some good tips that I think the book didn't have that helps the over all project. Feel free to read away though and get familiar with it.
