Want to tell you that each of them are totally gorgeous! Striking in color. Wonderful work.

Sometimes solids are just the way to go...they provide bold, simply lines without the "clutter" of a print getting in the way. Excellent study in the use of line and color. I love all three of them...congrats....

I use solids as 'fillers', will have to do a solid quilt now. LOL

Absolutely beautiful - all three!

Oh wow! I've avoided solid fabrics (usually go for tone on tone) unless I wanted an Amish look, but I think you've changed my mind. These are all just stunning. Great work!

love all three quilts, your colors are great...it takes lots of shopping to get all the solid colors & blends.

Here is a book where you can find the pattern for the cube quilt.

The other two designs are my own.
I am glad you like them! I just finished the quilting on one of them.

Absolutely gorgeous quilts. Must tackle a cube quilt someday. Also, love the bags on your website.

Thank you, Vat, for your tips. I used jelly rolls so the strips were already cut. Next time, I will use yardage, starch it and then cut strips lengthwise. I pressed so carefully the blocks still they distorted a lot. Then I struggled to keep the top flat so I don't have too many sharp points. Can't wait to quilt it.
