Hi Jan. I used Maxine Rosenthal's book One-Block Wonders for the instructions to make the hexagon blocks. The rest of the design is mine. She also has another book titled One-Block Wonders Cubed that I may purchase.

it is absolutely beautiful quilt top and if you do not mind me asking what lenght of basic fabric did you need? I have just purchased some for my mosaic quilt and am not sure if I will have enough. Thanx
