Design Wall, Angie's Quilt

Here's the first draft of my third one block wonder quilt.  This one will be for my sister.  It takes me about 3 weeks of staring at the design wall and moving things around to decide exactly where the blocks will go.

 

I need to make 3D cubes for this too.  Here is the original fabric I cut up:

 

It is wild and loud, and reminded me of my sister.

 

The funny thing is that the orange background fabric almost disappears when it is cut up, and what jumps out is the BRIGHT pink and red.  This kind of quilt forces me to slow down and really think about color.  I do more planning for my OBW quilts than I do for any other kind.
