It is not an illusion. In her comment remarks she posted:<DD id=Blog1_cmt-6636612879916303164 class=comment-body>"I should have mentioned that for the quilt's body Mom set a tone-on-tone hour glass between the nine patches. The hour glasses were quilted in the ditch with an "X" while the nine patches were outlined around their borders. An egg-and-dart pattern was quilted in the borders."
Thanks to all the board members for the calculations & pictures.
