Thanks Dunster ;-)

Geometric Gems by Cathy Wierzbicki, is the name of the book i used. I think she also sells just the pattern and it's called "Inside the Box".

The technique is just like DOTTYMO said, long rows of pieced triangles sewn together.

Look for the one block wonder books. The pattern is very easy.

I saw a hollow cube quilt in Alicia's Attic booth at the Madison Wisconsin quilt expo a few years back. If you take the finished block and cut it from top to bottom, you can see how it is made without y-seams. You take a triangle and put a frame on two sides. That's it.

I tried to put 3 light fabrics in the center of the blocks so that it looks like there is a light on inside the block. By arranging them correctly, you will see the two "walls" and the "floor" inside the block. On the outside pieces, I put darker fabrics, but arrange them so that you can see the light source; usually the top is lightest, and keep the darkest on the same side; left or right.

This may not be the hollow cube, but it's a good tumbling block pattern.
