Just a note... when I bought fabric going by guidelines on here, I bought 4 yds.Must say, it's according to repeats & how big of a quilt you want.I made a doz & never sewed them together.Think the fabric gave me a headache :-) from wondering what I'd do with it once done?

Here are all 3 books on Amazon. The first one shows the hollow cubes but does not have any information on how to make them. I bought the first book before the other two came out, but figured out the cubes on my own. I think that all 3 contain the basic directions for selecting fabric, cutting, and sewing the quilts, so if I were buying just one today I would probably buy the last one.

The third book is the one I just got and it does give the basics in it also. I've never made a OBW and the instructions do seem easy to follow.

I hope so because the fabric is beautiful.

Hi, I hope nena doesn't mind me chipping in but I know she's away from her computer for a while. A few of us here on the board have this same fabric and have started doing a group OBW with it and posting our progress here http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-92198-1.htm#2311364 nena is going to join in as soon as she can. :-D

Thanks very much for this info, after posting this response I went looking in the pictures section and saw photos of someones layout using the same fabric. I will certainly be keeping a watch on this thread. Thanks again.

You ought to be happy with the way the blocks look. It is so luscious I would have trouble cutting into it. Just love saturated color.
