It is not you that is slacking it is me, really, I should have been done a bunch of stuff already that I haven't even started yet. I have so much to do, I was thinking that it would be cool and mind blowing to do a quilt out of all cubes, Maybe a wall hanging, something for people to start at,

With regards to the cubes, notice that the strips don't always run parallel to each other depending on which kind of cube you're making. Also, it's very important to pay close attention to your placement of light, medium and dark values, within the block and also when you place them within the quilt. You should imagine a light source coming from one side, ie top right, and orient your cubes so that the light sides are all in this direction, otherwise the 3D effect will be greatly reduced and disappointing. Also, the points really have to match exactly as they are so obvious - after all the point of them is that they stand out, right? It's worth taking extra time and care with them. :-D

I'm cheering for you too Kyia. Mine is finally getting sewn together. When I started to sew the strips I realized that two of the blocks were mixed up and didn't even come close to matching each other. Then got that fixed and came to another set of strips and realized that two ther blocks were sewn together inside out!!!! Where was my mind? So you see are not behing at all. LOL

Well, and I have done some playing and I was right about the cubes, I will be starting it's own thread for them though so that they don't get lost, I have some done but need a few more to finish off what I started.
here is a preview, I finished off totally to show the effect,
