Here's a link to a few pages from the book, I don't know if there's enough here to actually make them but it looks fairly comprehensive. http://books.google.fr/books?id=btQ0...onders&f=false

I think the second book IS worth getting at some stage though, if you're really into these - there are futher ideas for borders, setting etc in there as well. :-D

Just had a look and ther link has changed - it used to show all the pages for the cubes and not the hexagon part, now it only shows the solid cubes and the cubes in a corner. I'm sorry I can't be more help but I don't feel comfortable doing tutes on stuff that IS in the books. Feels a bit like stealing to me. :? :-)

I LOVE that pink quilt! My big thing here is that it is a cross between OBW/Kaleidoscope/Stack N whack....I am making this for my sister and the kaleidoscope top that I have been working on is for her daughter, my neice. I don't wnat to give them both quilts that are SO similar in pattern :). I didn't stack or fussy cut the kaleidoscope and it has 3 colors, but the effects are similar to the pink quilt.

I'm really debating getting another 3-4 yards and doing another stack of repeats. I'm going to offset them differently this time for more variety in my blocks. But instead of two 6" strips I'll only do one and that will give me 16 more blocks and the other strip can be used for the squares. I have around a yard left now and allthe leftovers will make nice fillers in the rest of the top or back.

This is for my baby sister and she's been sick a LOT in the last few years so I want it to be pretty special :thumbup: And I DO appreciate all the help.

I understand! I wasn't sure if there was info on the net or not :). Is the Encore book the second one that you suggest? Ok, my next question is though, is it possible to put cubes into the Octo quilts? and if so does this book go into that?

I may try to find a used one on ebay or somewhere.

The cubes come up as hexes - the Encore book is really worth having as it gives really clear pictorial instructions for all the different kinds, The third book goes into interlocking cubes etc - I haven't braved those yet, though I have the book. Katrine on here is an absolute whizz at those! One thing though - you need the 60 deg ruler for the cubes the Clearview 6" is best. It won't work with the line on your regular ruler. Wasn't sure if you had it or not with your fancy Accucut system! LOL BUt yes, check Amazon for used ones, I get a few quilty books that way. Or how about the library?

Thanks for the video. When I pinned my half hexes together, I just lined up the dog ears, but your method is more accurate. I learned something, so thanks for that. Cheers!

Very Nice.

Well, I guess that means no cubes in my sisters quilt :(. It is the Octogons. If I find the book cheap enough I may still get it..I like collecting :oops: . I don't know if I have a 60degree die for my accuquilt or not. The top I just did I started in a class 4 yrs ago and I used the special ruler (yeah, that one I JUST sold a few weeks ago cuz I was NEVER gonna do another OBW again! :roll: ) hahaha...so if I decide to do another one with hexes I will have to get another ruler.... :lol:

You're welcome everyone... for a show off like me, it was fun! I might even do more when I've got something interesting to share... Julie, I don't think you can do cubes with your accucut so looks like you NEED another ruler!
