Hollow cubes

During the Minnesota Quilt Show, I took a workshop from Maxine Rosenthal
on making hollow cubes. It was fun and much easier than it looks. I
finished 8 different cubes during the class. I like the way she fits
them into her "One Block Wonder" quilts, but I'm just going to add
enough fabric around the edges to make a table runner.

Today I'm doing some organizing in my sewing room and putting away all
the fabric I got out when I was getting ready for the class.

Sounds like fun, Julia! Are you going to show us pics?

When I get something done. I should be in there doing something instead
of here on the computer. I got a new camera yesterday, so I hope to get
some photos up soon. The old one suited me just fine, but the on/off
switch was not reliable. And that, just after I finally found a card
reader that would read the SmartMedia card from the old camera. The new
camera is Fujifilm Finepix T200, a relatively inexpensive camera, but
loaded with features that I'll probably never use.

I'm intrigued by these blocks, but don't want to do kaleidoscope quilts.
Does anyone know if there's a book by someone else that just
concentrates on the cubes or other shapes?

Have you had a look at Karen Coombs - Optical Illusions? I'm pretty
sure that is the book I am thinking of. I'll try to remember to look it
out tomorrow and check.

There is "Building Block Quilts" by Sara Nephew; she also has several
other books. Also Maxine Rosenthal's book "One Block Wonders Encore"
has good directions for the cubes. She also has a third book "One Block
Wonders Cubed" that does even more with the cubes & 3-D effects.
