Thank you for the help, Katrine. I'll work on the sides and have pieces already sewn for 2 more blue and orange cubes that I might incorporate somewhere in the quilt. Your OBW quilt is a masterpiece! I'll have to make another one some day, using less colorful fabric. Yours is simply elegant!

You're welcome Marcia - let me know if you need any more help. And also I forgot to say I like the blocks and your hollow cubes are great - it will be quite something when you have all your plain dark blue around it - I love the colours.

That is so beautiful!

Wow I like that very much indeed Marcia, good layout and distribution of the cubes. The blue fabric is a great match for the shade of the background of the feature fabric, and I like the marbling effect.
Just one thing - the top cube - the dark and mediums are in different positions to the other cubes. It may be the photo and that the top appears darker than it really is. But you cant rotate it because the light is coming from the same source as the others. You could just reconstruct that cube with just a tiny bit of unpicking and sewing together again?
Well done!

You're right about that block, Katrine--I do need to rip it and re-sew. I've been trying to ignore it, but I'm afraid unsewing is the only answer--and the right thing to do! :) Thanks for taking the time to write.

Beautiful colors and layout, can't wait to see it finished.

Yes, but you only need to re-arrange the triangles Marcia, you won't need to dismantle the component parts of each triangle (I think?!)
