    I like the effect of the shadowing with this pattern. It can be used to highlight any concept. I used it with road equipment for a grandson. I like the way it emphasizes colors and patterns in your quilt. It makes those great fabrics just 'sing'. I will be anxious to see the quilt finished.

    If you add white sashing between the blocks, the shadow will show up even more. Great idea to use with those bright fabrics.

    How fun! I really love the bright fabrics you used. All that being said, I have a couple charm packs I have been wanting to use up and I think this pattern done in a lighter colorway just might be the pattern I have been looking for. So thanks for sharing!

    The top is together. Only 25" square. Perfect wall hanging size. I think it'd be perfect for a child psychiatrist's office (my daughter is heading that direction). ;-) This whole shadow thing delights me. I'm going to make more. :-) How should it be quilted?

    I really like how it turned out. Are your colored blocks batiks? They're so pretty. Very modern, which is so popular. I've been wanting to quilt something with straight top to bottom lines. Maybe throw in a tear drop. Or I saw one quilted with a top to bottom swirl/line and a wavy line between. (Can you picture that?) it reminded me a little of wood grain. Anyway, I'm sure whatever you choose will be perfect and will look awesome on the wall of your daughters future counseling office!
