I am still a beginner (I have only been at this for about 18 months) so all suggestions welcome.
I have enrolled in a FMQ class with Helen Godden (http://www.helengodden.com/) in late January so I might wait until I have done that and had some practice.
The interlocking cubes are nearly done, they sure are different to do as each piece looks strange until you put them all together.
And yes dont those triangles for the big cubes look weird:lol:
It's only when you have all the bits up you can "see" it! When I did Ice Follies I spent alot of time walking around with my "plan" in my hand!

Mine are now done (but not sewn together) amazing how much I got done while the family was away camping, lol.
DD came in and said "cool Mum, but is this supposed to be like this? She picked up on a mistake that I didn't see, even though I have done nothing but look at it for 4 days, lucky it's a easy fix.

Because the fine threads are difficult to see, occasionally I have quilted from the back (once the cubes are SID so I can leave them clear) and found it much easier. I try to do some fmq in the borders which has something to do with the fabric or theme, but sometimes a plain border is better.
