Well I've just bought fabric specifically to make a new quilt incorporating interlocking cubes of different sizes as shown in examples (with directions and how to plan out) in the Cubed book. There are several other new concepts in there as well (like floating triangles, appliqued features, "incomplete" cubes) which for anyone who has already made one block wonder quilts, add even more interest and ideas. I think if you have enjoyed making them, and want to try more design paths, the Cubed book is a great addition to the quilting "library".

For anyone wanting to do the feathers, have a look at this link. This is a great (and very easy and relaxed) method - you won't look back!!

I have the book, and practiced on my doll quilt for this month. Hmm, what can I say... I need more practice! LOL

Did you do lots of paper & pencil practice as well Gai? My hubby was hiding paper when I got the book!

I did some, but part of the problem is that I have trouble seeing where the previous stitches are, plus I don't write or draw in the same direction that I sew. I write > , but I sew ^. Oh well, I have plenty of tops to practice on! LOL

You should practice drawing them on either a dry erase board or paper. Thery really are easy. I'm the one who turned her on to this method - via the book 'Hooked on Feathers" by Sally Terry. They really are easy and feel flowy once you start and are comfortable with doing them.

A future plan, in my head anyway, is to make a totally cubed quilt. No kaleidoscope blocks at all, just cubes. This book will help me accomplish doing that, I think. Now, as to when this happens - that's another story.

Try using a contrasting thread color to the fabric you are stitching on. That should make a huge difference in seeing where to touch the next point of the feather to the previous hump.

I've already cut one - but then I got nothing else to do all day!

Um, you recommended the book - I "turned myself on" to the method.
