A prod got it going

     One thing about quilters' blogs, is they prod you to get going and pull out fabric or projects and get a move on. Wanda has been posting some of her One Block Wonders and I could hear the voices of the fabrics in the cupboard I have set aside for OBWs. I pulled out the Philip James one, in honor of Wanda. I ironed it and tore it in half along the half fold parallel to the selvedges, carefully cut 6 repeats, lined them up with pins, cut the strips and then the triangles. Then I layed out the repeats from the other half.
     I had to try out the cut triangles from the first strip before I cut all the others. I have made four OBWs and I still get such a thrill of joy when I sew the triangles and get such a cool design. All triangles cut and ready to sew! Thanks for the prod, Wanda.
The Philip James fabric bought long ago at a great price. Isn't it just gorgeous?
First strip, first blocks. Fun or what?

What gorgeous fabric! LOVE how the blue slower popped out and the "bouquet" of white flowers, too. What fun!!

This is wonderful. What book/pattern are you working from? I would like to try it.

That is a beautiful Philip Jacobs fabric! It looks like it is going to work out great. Glad I could get you excited about working on it.

Ah, I see you jumped into the water with both feet. This is a fabulous fabric. You are going to have a great garden out of it!

Your fabric for this is perfect. I need to see if I have some yardage of a large interesting print that I could do this with.

Great fabric for this. Can't wait to see it finished.

I love looking at these OBW quilts but have not made one of my own. Too many other projects calling my name.

Not just fun but oodles of it :-) It is a gorgeous fabric and that Wanda is a trouble-maker :-)
