    Wow, What a quilt. I love how you have the fish swimming in the border, and the Greek key stippling you did.

    Thanks for sharing. That is really beautiful! I would like to be brave enough to cut up a piece of fabric like that too. Some day maybe.

    If you follow the above links, you will find pictorial step by steps by Cutebuns, and reading through it, your some day/one day will come sooner than you currently think ;) <wave>

    The originator of this method, Maxine Rosenthal, has 3 books on it
    One Block Wonders
    One Block Wonders Encore
    One Block Wonders Cubed
    It is very easy to follow in the books, which give pictorial directions, quantity amounts, design ideas, and show lots of good examples and ideas.
    I have had no problem using the books
