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.

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.

Hollow cubes
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. ..

Hollow cubes
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.
