This is amazing. No wonder it was a UFO. Brake in between is sometimes needed.

Hope you will enter it into a quilt show as those are the types of quilts I always love to look at. Can you tell me what size this is? I love seeing how different the hex's can look, it is always amazing to me how using the same material but in different cuts and combinations can produce such different looking blocks. Great Job! Pam

Thank you all for your positive comments. It measures roughly 1.50m / 1m. Yes, it's great fun to see the different effects produced using the same fabric.

Well done Granny, I love the cube effect and how it gives depth with just placement of light and dark shaded fabrics. Love Chris

The location of the light or dark fabric is indeed essential. But it is a step that I like a lot in the construction of patchwork.

That's a lot of fussy cutting! Your eye for color and placement is fantastic. A project like this demands a lot of concentration, and taking a break sometimes is essential. It's sort of "you can't see the trees because of the forest" syndrome. I'm glad you stuck with it as the result is so unique!
