I am pretty sure you are not going to like this, let me give you my address....hehehe. It is beautiful and the colors are wonderful. Would have never thought to put them together, but the fabric designer knew what they were doing. Let us see it when it is finished

Sure is.......!
Are you going to put in some hollow cubes also? That would really add even more punch to those rich colors. IMHO.

coachmatthewsvhs 04-05-2011 02:53 AM

Can't wait to see this one completed!

Beautiful Love the colors

iltoaz 04-05-2011 08:14 AM

Looking Good! Keep us posted as your complete your quilt. Thanks for sharing.

The instructions for the cubes are in the second book - One Block Wonders Encore! by Maxine Rosenthal. I agree that these would really enhance this as the blocks aren't throwing up a lot of variation as the print is smaller than your strips so not really being cut into. Alternatively, you could adapt to stack n whack and put in solid setting triangles to frame the individual blocks which are beautiful.

Also, have you sewn full hexes? It's hard to tell from the photo... Which book are you working form? Lovely colours though!

JCquilts 04-05-2011 08:33 AM

Wow, the blocks look better than the original fabric.

Good job.

JoanneS 04-05-2011 11:44 AM

If you haven't cut all your strips yet, try moving them a little to offset so the hexes won't all be the same. That way you'll get some different color combos.

No - you need to buy one of Maxine Rosenthal's books. OBW Encore has patterns for the cubes, and it's my favorite of the 3 books.
