Just finished cutting and sewing 400 triangles into 3 unit segments. Used 6’panels. Have 2 other books of this author.

Warning this is a potentially addictive quilt top making process. I actually enjoyed all the hours it took playing with the triangles just to see the various kaleidoscope designs the fabric makes!

Seemed complicated as I studied the book and saw the beautiful quilts. But local local quilt store just happened to have a class and in few days OBW one will be a finished quilt top!

The OBW process really ups the creativity in designing a quilt . Like combining the satisfaction you get from both quilting and painting .

Listened to several audio books during this quilt.
