It was slow going because I did as the book said (One Block Wonders Cubed) - which was cut and put one triangle on the board before starting another. I think it would nigh on impossible to cut all those in one go and not get in a muddle. I drew up a graph and list to work from.
I cut some small differing size cubes and put them into some of the black and white hexagon blocks.
Each b/w hex has a silver metallic hexagon quilted in the middle, and I just meandered over the remainder, but I did SID on the cubes.
The silver metallic border cubes and crystal shapes are freehand, and I'm pleased with the effect.
When I started quilting I saw 2 errors, and couldnt face taking it apart - if you can spot them, please don't tell me .......

Katrine this is a stunning wall hanging I love the colors and the cubes, hexagons, crystals everything about your piece is wonderful. I was too busy looking at all the demensions, of the differnt shapes, to notice any errors. Besides I don't think the quilt police work on the weekend anyway. Looking forward to seeing your next completed project.

I would never even attempt to find an error, it is absolutely gorgeous! Give yourself a big pat on the back, you did a fantastic job and I remember that black/white fabric ... still loving it.
