Found some leftover strips to try out the tube blocks. Had enough to make this top for Project Linus which still needs sandwiching and quilting. When I hung it up to get a better look, discovered that the darker fabric had a print similar to the block itself. Also discovered I'd goofed - 3 squares are turned wrong. Not that noticable so am not going to take it apart and redo.

Looks great to me!

Like what you did on the outside borders.

Another good looking tube quilt!

Those are great. The points are precise & be proud of you.

A little leftover fabric. Not large enough to make more blocks but needed a border to make it the size I usually make for the Linus quilts. Seems to work.

Wonderfully Done!!! :D :D :D

Love it!!!

Very nice I love the pattern.

Beautiful! I love quilts that have a few blocks that march to different drummers. Sometimes I'll do that with a block on purpose, just for the fun of it.

very very pretty

Looks nice :thumbup:

Looks great!

wonderful job
love the interesting side blocks

I loved it!! It was like an "I Spy" quilt....looking for the 3 blocks
turned in a different direction. Add that to your quilt info and make a game of it!!!! Everyone will think you did it on purpose!

Nice work. I'd never have noticed the 3 squares if you hadn't mentioned it. Bet no one else will either.

Very nice. Like the colors. :thumbup:

Very nice! I doubt if anyone will even notice the blocks that are turned. They add movement. :-D I think everyone that makes quilts for Project Linus and similar programs deserves a :thumbup: !

These are fun to work with, aren't they?

You will find so many combinations your head will swim.
Looks great!

I'm gonna' have to check out this tube method. I've some beautiful work usng this method. This quilt is really pretty. The "wrong way" blocks helpd to give it character.

That is a great quilt. I love the colors. Someone is going to love that quilt.

I have been seeing a lot about tube blocks . Can you tell me why they are called tube blocks? I love your quilt and how personal you made it by changing the direction of the three blocks. lol

Great work Ellie

Looks great. I have not tried that method yet!

Beautiful. I would not have seen the different ones if it wasn't mentioned.

Looks good! I really want to try this method! Maybe if i spent more time sewing and less time reading about what everyone else is making I could get more done. NAAAAAA! Thats no fun!

Very pretty. I hope to make one -- somewhere down the road.

Great job! :thumbup: I didn't notice the mess up until you pointed it out, but you are right, it looks great anyway!

Wow, those blocks really pop! I love that strong graphic element! Good job!

looks great
