WOW! I'm impressed! The first thing that popped into my mind was "In the midst of chaos, you can still find beauty". I agree that a whole quilt of these blocks would be dynomite! In 22 years, have never seen this pattern with the hole in the middle. Pattern name? I love 3 dimensional quilting! Great idea!

I love the the cubes. Were they appliqed on or done as part of the design. Makes me want to do something with the one block wonder.

It always amazes me what the OBW does to fabric !!!!!

The border is the original fabric - if you can tell from the photo - I'm really not a very good photographer.

Now that's a thought :)

I have Maxine Rosenthall & Joy Pelzmann's One-block Wonders Cubed, but found it a little advanced for my limited skills, so picked up their previous book "One-Block Wonders Encore" and found it much more usefull.
