Here's a link to how to make the hollow cube blocks as used in One Block Wonders. http://books.google.fr/books?id=btQ0...onders&f=false
They could be used anywhere you like of course! :D

I hear you Omak, but if you follow it through step by step, cut strips the size she says etc, it's straightforward. Only thing is, you'd have to change the measurements if your original OBWs were other than 3 3/4" strips...

Not mean at all JB - we're all entitled to our opinion! :-D Personally, I think they fit in some quilts and are a good tool if the OBW
effect is either not striking enough or if there are awkward transitions in the design to be bridged. Sometimes they
completely dominate to the detriment of the whole quilt, other times,
they lift a quilt from the mediocre to the spectacular. I'd say that they should be considered on a 'quilt by quilt' basis and shouldn't be added to a design just for the sake of it!
That's my humble but honest opinion! :-D :-D :-D

No matter if my explorations end up not looking like the cubes (without the book), the fabric pieces will just be "seed" for my next scrap quilt ... as though I have to look for something to put into my scrap quilts! LOL <wave>
