Thanks Sara - have you seen this with Escher quilts?

A while back someone posted some exhibition pictures on here which included Escher quilts too.

Wow, that's a cool web site. Thanx for sharing. I think we all have our minds working overtime now!

That is lovely! The magic of this pattern is
emphasized by the Christmas patterned fabric.

Sure wish I could do work like that.

MaryAnna 06-22-2010 03:33 PM

Great quilt! You did a great job....and I recognize some of those fabrics from my stash! You've inspired me to get with it and make something scrappy myself!
Kind Regards,
MaryAnna

Oh, I love it, isn't it fun to make those blocks!

amalia64 06-22-2010 11:42 PM

That is Beautiful, I Love it.

Katrine 06-23-2010 12:11 AM

Thank you everyone!

It wasn't from a pattern - just put together the cubes as in the One Block Wonders Encore book by Maxine Rosenthal

http://books.google.fr/books?id=btQ0...onders&f=false

Very easy to do, no Y seams, you just construct it in strips then sew the strips together.

Pat - yes they are fun to make and then stand back and see the effect!
