I've just ordered background fabric for my black&cream. It's being shipped from the U.S., so it'll take a little while. Playing with the big and small blocks...

And here's a first layout for my second fabric. I wasn't sure how it'd turn out, the repeat is small (under 6'') and it's all tone in tone, not at all what Maxine Rosenthal recommends... But I kind of like the subtleness of it.
Sorry about the shakiness - I was balancing on a chair holding the camera above the layout. :) How I envy all you folks with design walls!

I like the subtleness of it too! And have you seen Maxine's red quilt in the book? Can't remember what she calls it, but that's pretty subtle too. Anyway it works - I love it! And you be careful up on that chair!

Are the quilts in the first one worth it, would you say? A red quilt sounds great, I love reds.

I don't think you NEED the first book if you have the second because all the info is in there plus the cubes. But I have them both because I have a thing for books! There are lots of pretty quilts in there though, yes. I've been peering at your first one and appliqué seems to be the only way. I guess it would have pieced if, as you say the hexs were appropriate sizes, eg one exactly half the size of the other. I'd have to draw it out though for it to make sense to me! :shock: :lol:

Salmonsweet, I LOVE your black and white hexs!
I was wondering if you like the second layout better if you couldnt finish up the large hexs and then do the same with the smaller hexs only in strips... like a border???
it would look much more structured (might be a bad thing) but the math would be easy and you wouldnt have to applique.
