It is similar but not exactly the same. The one I saw was a cube inside what looked like a hexagon.

You are right; that is a picture of what I am looking for. Now, if only I can find the instructions for making it.

The directions are in a book by Karen Combs. You can go to her website: www.karencombs.com I've made a few small blocks of hers and they are fun.

Sara Nephew also has a book out that makes a block like that. I have made the block and it isn't hard

It is a 60 degree triange, isn't it? With a piece added on the bottom the make it 2 colors. Then you sew them together like you would a star pattern, watching your color placement. What you think?

The Sara Nephew block is called Hallow Cube and it is using a 60 degree angle. It is in a book calledBig Book of Building Block Quilts. It is a really pretty quilt. Can do lot with color.
