Thank you so much everyone - I am still tickled pink. The funny thing with this quilt is when I had it up on the wall before I decided to do the cubes, it didnt seem alive at all and I was disappointed with it. Think its the cubes that really brought it to life - and it wont be the last time I use several different colour threads on a motif either!

Quilting motif not too even as I did it freehand - but okay from a distance! Finished size is approx 53ins x 49ins. Just have to put a sleeve on now to hang it.

OH My Gosh, Katrine. Your quilt is gorgeous. No wonder you won first place. Wow, it's just lovely. I love the Kaliedescope pattern but putting the geometric blocks in adds so much interest and the quilting is really nice. Do you happen to have a piece of the Kaliedescope fabric BEFORE you cut it so we can see the before and after? Thanks for sharing.
