Thank you!
Part of Karen Combs class was how to choose fabrics to make the illusion. I started with the border print that I got in a yard sale. From that print I choose three colors and then three shades of that color to make the illusion. The fabrics in the cubes came from yard sales, other quilts that I had done, and WebFabrics. The background batik was from Joanns. Finding just the right colors was the hardest part. Drafting the different cubes was the most fun.
