That is an absolutely stunning quilt. I just love it. Where did you find the pattern for the cubes?

There are a few different kinds all explained in the second book One Block Wonders Encore but a while ago I found all the pages with the instructions free online. Here's the link http://books.google.fr/books?id=btQ0...onders&f=false

:lol: It's not that hard, really! Just a case of keeping all the pieces in order. I just laid them out and picked up, sewed and put back in place as I went along. You also need a 60° triangle to cut out the pieces. :-D

Yes, you can make the hexs like that, but for the cube blocks, you need the triangle. Sorry, should have been clearer!

See, see,see. It's just what I said before, that the print of the fabric does all the work for you. After you read the instructions for this and make one, you'll be surprised at how easy it is and it looks so hard!
