Default Another Optical Illusion for my Bucket List

I am going crazy on optical illusion patterns and saw the picture for this quilt during one of my searches. Well today I sat down for awhile (a long while) and created it using EQ7. I think it will be pretty neat but I may add a few more waves to it but it will have to wait - there are too many other quilts to be done before I get to it.

I have done the walking labyrinth and 3D hollow cubes and now am working on a king size quilt I designed of large 3D diamonds.

If anyone has any other ideas for 3D or optical illusions I would love to hear from you!

Oh yes - I downloaded the instructions! Yet another one for the bucket list. I found this website of illusions - many of which are beyond me to recreate http://www.ritsumei.ac.jp/~akitaoka/index-e.html

​I really like the circle optical quilt at www.seamstobeyouandme.com that Peckish did in a challenge. She also shows some of the steps to make it.

Love all these illusion quilts. Back in the 60s, we had one wall in family room wallpapered in a black and white illusion similiar to yours. Made me dizzy, but loved it!

I am pretty sure Jinny Beyer has a similar pattern free on her website. Also here is my UFO by Erin Underwood.

Cool design and with strip piecing that wouldn't be that difficult to make.
