“Creepin It Real” – OBW #104

A great One Block Wonder begins with great fabric! Be sure to ask your favorite quilt shop to carry this collection, “Creepin It Real” ships in March 2024.

This fabulous panel “Creepin It Real” was provided to me by QT Fabrics. The panel measures 37″ x 43″. I did not include the frames in my finished quilt. The inside of the panel measured 32″ x 39″.

“Creepin It Real” has such vibrant colors. I cut 3.75″ strips which yielded 6″ finished hexies.

This collage shows some of my design process ending with the hexies stitched into rows. I added 6″ finished stars on two sides made with the Star 60 Tool.

My rows have been stitched together.

I added 3″ finished borders, making “Creepin It Real” measure 93″ wide by 72″ tall before being quilted. I’m thrilled to say that “Creepin It Real” will hang in the QT Fabrics booth at Market 2023 in Houston. Thank you QT Fabrics.

This coordinating fabric by QT will be on the back of the quilt. I better get it loaded on the quilt frame and get her done!

I fell in love with this panel from QT Fabrics as soon as I saw it! The colors are so rich!

The panel by Gina Jane for QT Fabrics, measures 36″ x 42″ including the frames. I cut my strips 3.25″ to yield 5″ finished hexies. The 6 panels yielded 165 hexies.

This block was created by fellow Certified Instructor, Sonny Dewitt. He is so creative. He used Deb Tuckers Geese on the Edge Technique Sheet and Wing Clipper Tool to make the Geese on the Edge units & then trim the square units using the Star 60 Tool to create a hexagon shaped block. I thought it looked like a spider web, so I embroidered a cool looking spider in the center. It added so much to my OBW.

After designing with my hexies. I sitched them into 4 sections around the panel.

I centered and laid the the top section on the panel to show me how much to trim off each side to make the panel the same size as the top and bottom sections.

I remove a few stitches from valley’s of the top section and pressed under the 1/4″.

I pin the top section to the panel and top stitched using MonoPoly thread.

Match up the dog ears of the left section with the dog ears of the top and stitch using a partial seam stopping about 8″ from the bottom.

By matching the dog ears it allows me to know where the bottom section will attach to the panel. Remove a few stitches from the valleys and press under attaching it to the panel as with the top section.
