OMG! I just can't stop looking. Absolutely stunning use of a very simple block. Kudos !

That look so neat, I would love to see the finished quilt.

the pattern is from the magazine; McCall's Quilting March/April 2010. (YUP, a year old) the pattern is called :"Cubism" by Karen Combs- you may be able to find a pattern on her website- or find a copy of the magazine. i will take pics later when i get to sewing today and show a little tutorial on putting them together- but really as long as you take the time to do some prep work they really are easy! the prep work is drawing your 1/4" seam line on each diamond. then you simply pin the match points, stitch on the line; press and voila! the illusion comes from using light/medium/dark-just like any tumbling block. in the magazine there is a pattern template to trace which is 2 1/2" per side- i did not use this- i wanted larger cubes- i made my template out of template plastic -3 1/2" per side.
