Thank you all again.

I'm not real sure how long it took. I started out doing a few block, then get something done I needed at the time, a few more, another project. I started well before I had to have it up there. Then about 2 weeks before I left, I got real serious and worked almost daily. I don't know how many times I rearranged the blocks.

I used One Block Wonders by Maxine Rosenthal and absolutely love her method. Also she explains the process very well. I am seriously concidering getting her encore book, One Block Wonders Encore! I guess she explains how to do the cubes in that book which I had to play with to get the look I wanted and proper size. I would think she explains everything well in this book also. EDIT: They are easier to do than it looks and they are a whole lot of fun!

I LOVE those hollow tumbling blocks! Is the pattern for those in the kaleidoscope book you mentioned or do you have an alternate pattern for those?

Thanks!

:D Wow This quilt is very nice! I love the fall theme to the shapes and the colors. Too bad you couldn't see her while you were there visiting, though. Life gets too busy doesn't it?

Thanks!
The instructions for the hollow tumbling blocks are not in the One Block Wonder book even though she has pictures of quilts with the cubes in the book. Someone on the board said she tells how to make them in One Block Wonder Encore. I just played around until I got the look I wanted.
