Here are pics of my very first one block wonder with cubes. These quilts sure take a bunch of material. I think I used almost 4 yards for this one and it turned out pretty small, about a lap size. I'm trying to make quilts for next years quilt show in July. I'm using patterns that are unique to all the quilters in my area. Most of them have never seen a OBW nor a new york beauty. Next one is going to be a mosiac quilt, mostly paper pieced, can't wait to get started on it.

I hope you all like this one, I'm probably going to place a dark green or red 1 1/2" stop border then a larger purple one, what do you all think?

Here are the pics:

I don't have a clue how you did it...those cubes look like they are floating across the quilt. Beautiful!

Gorgeous!! Love how you did the cubes in different colours. I think your borders will really make it pop. Great job!!!
