Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Are you saying you're just not getting that attic window illusion of depth? I wonder if you need more than one block to accomplish that? I've never worked with that block, so I can't speak from experience. Otherwise, it works well with the quilt. I really like the overall effect.

Looks good to me!
If a woman's work is never done....why start?

please tell us (me) whats wrong????????
What is wrong with my attic window is that I mitered the wrong corners. I should have the corners where the two different colors come together mitered, and instead, for some foggy reason, LOL, I mitered the corners that have the matching fabric. My miters hardly show at all, and I totally lost that illusion of the light and shadow coming together in the corners.
Oh, man, the fog is with me lately. Yesterday I sewed the borders of this beach quilt to the Calendar Quilt I am making for a wedding gift. LOL. Now I reallyyyyyyy get to play with my frogger, not that it ever goes unattended for long.

I believe UFOs are like scraps, ferns and dust bunnies. Once you get two, they send spores out into the air and more just happen anywhere the spores meet.
I was thinking that the mitered corners weren't in the right places - - but then I am such a newbie yet, I wasn't sure. I especially love that center panel (the three blocks). Good job on the quilt -

Have a great day!
Thanks for sharing . Guess we are all still learning, I didn't see it either.
Guess I am blind..I can't see any mistakes...don't know what I am missing. Perhaps it's because I do not know the pattern..By the way..What is froggin'?
It is a phrase that many quilters use for seam ripper... ripit...ripit...kind of like a frog. :-) I prefer calling mine Jack...for Jack the ripper. Now...I hope I am right. :-)
She who dies with the most fabric, didn't sew fast enough!
thank you . I use Jack a lot. Froggin is cute too
