I wasn't really happy with this quilt - I think my fabric choice for this project was just way too busy for a One Block Wonder. so I decided to add some cubes to brighten it up - hence the name. Not my favorite quilt, but I like it a little better now. Really like the cubes, will probably experiment more with these sometime down the road.

Pictures turned out sideways - Sorry

very nice...love the blocks in it.

QuiltE 06-15-2011 04:25 PM

Guess what? I liked the subtlety of it without the cubes!

erstan947 06-15-2011 04:26 PM

The cubes pop! Good design "fix"!:)

Is that a Sassaman print? It's great in the OBW.
And those cubes look like they're floating - very 3D-ish with the values you choose.
They definitely added a lot of WOW factor to the quilt.

No I don't believe it is a Sassaman print, though it does remind me a lot of her work. I picked this up at JoAnn's. Love those 50% off coupons.

I love the cubes!

It's a neat effect with the blocks and does reduce the business.

I think a whole quilt of the cubes would be awesome!

That's what my brother said when he first saw this one, and he is completely quilt "non-savey" (is that a word? is now)

cool cubes

hperttula123 06-15-2011 05:45 PM

I love it! The cubes are great in the quilt. I still have not tried this. I bought the book and it just sits, lol. One day I will do one. In the meantime, I enjoy looking at everyone else's.

I love it! Those cubes really set it off. Good job :D:D:D

jayelee 06-15-2011 06:00 PM

LOve the quilts But I would have liked to see it without them I think I would like it better

Summer Spice 06-15-2011 06:39 PM

This is a work of art, I love it.

QuiltnNan 06-15-2011 07:03 PM

i prefer the quilt before the cubes. but the cubes would be a neat quilt on their own, too

LindaM 06-15-2011 07:07 PM

Love it! The cubes look great, really add interest and contrast to the hex's. What a beautiful quilt! Love the pink inner border too. Great job!

wanderingcreek 06-15-2011 09:16 PM

Love the cubes. They sure add another dimension to the quilt.

Jim 06-15-2011 09:57 PM

I love it with and without the cubes....love the colors too

Katrine 06-16-2011 02:43 AM

I think your cubes are great, they really light it up. Lovely quilt!

Moonglow 06-16-2011 02:46 AM

Looks great.

smagruder 06-16-2011 02:56 AM

I like that quilt before the cubes and I am not one who likes busy quilts. I like yours a lot.

dunster 06-16-2011 03:17 AM

Gorgeous! I love the cubes. The whole quilt is amazing.

catladyquilts 06-16-2011 04:12 AM

mjsylvstr 06-16-2011 05:13 AM

I would love to have seen the fabric before cutting.

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

Take a look at the borders for the original fabric!

quiltingnonie 06-16-2011 05:26 AM

The coloring on your cubes are PERFECT! But I think the original border print is just a little too busy, and kinda detracts from the unique designs in the center. JMHO

yonnikka 06-16-2011 05:37 AM

Norva, each of your hexagon blocks is fuss-cut to Perfection! But overall, it does look a little ? muddled ? when seen from a distance. The blocks are such a striking contrast to the background quilt, I think it must reflect something of your intricate and contradictory personality??? maybe??? ;0)

mjsylvstr 06-16-2011 05:51 AM

thanks, I always enjoy seeing what develops.........

GramaLaura 06-16-2011 05:53 AM

I think it's wonderful!! :-D

just_the_scraps_m'am 06-16-2011 06:06 AM

your choice of pink frame worked "wonders"--love the cubes--which book did you use-or didn't you?

Polliwog 06-16-2011 06:18 AM

Way to go! An artistic uptick to OBW.
