Optical Illusion Quilt

I want to make an illusion quilt someday and have been saving any illusion pics I find so that I can pick the best (by that I mean easiest) one to adapt someday.
This link seems fairly simple.
Klue- your quilts are amazing!

thank you lisa.
the optical illusion quilts are easy to do - the hardest part is keeping the strata sets labeled so you make the correct cuts on the correct strata.
if you do that the illusion just jumps out at you.
if you can make a 9 patch you can make an optical illusion - its really just a totally expanded 9 patch.

Love this quilt Klue! I have always been fascinated with optical illusions since I was a kid.
They make you think not just nod and say pretty and go on.
Don't know about making one tho as I don't have time to make big quilts.
Mini illusions? Ya think?
My dad and I loved puzzles of all kinds. My mom was always picking up little puzzles like the rubics cube when it first came out and chinese puzzles that you have to untangle and she kept them on the coffee table so we would sit and play with them when you watched tv.
Have always been fascinated with how things go together I guess.

the thin lines in the quilt are only 0.25 and at the bottom those are all 0.25 inch squares.

At least experiment a little. I have done things that if you stand back you see a total differant picture than if you look at it up close. Up close you see the dark but if you stand across the room and look at it you see the light design as a totally differant look. Love that!
