A quilt in my dreams (QW)

I came across this quilt on a Facebook forum for Bonnie Hunter followers.  It is gorgeous.  Definitely a quilt that I one day dream of making. Though I fear it may be challenging.   I like the effect of the small white squares.  The white squares are nine patches.


This next picture is of the same layout as the one above, however they are using one plain block instead of the nine patches.  The nine patches really transform the quilt and make it appear to be made of circles. 

Here is a close up of the quilt block.  It is made up of six squares, six triangles and in the centre a hexagon.  Up close like this it helps to break it all down and makes it easier to understand why the edges of the picture at the top are curved.  Each block is attached to the curve and a connecting triangle is sewn on. 

The first picture above also colour coordinates each block.  Each block uses the same colours for the triangles and the white throughout the quilt appears to be the same.

Beautiful!!!  One day.......maybe.......
