    So I just have to figure out the value/color combo to get that bowl effect.
    Because I LOVE the idea of hanging it in the guest bathroom. ;-)

    All I got was something that looked like Russian writing. O.K., I clicked on the second link now, and I got it. I think I'd rather do something else as a baby quilt; but, I must admit, it certainly is interesting.

    I found one example of this quilt. The article is (again) not English - but I read just enough German (left over from college days) to understand that she found this pattern in the magazine Lena. She calls it the "Rolling Ball". Notice she added an outer border that really adds to the quilt. Hers is also paper pieced.

    It's the sort of thing she does - manipulating images in Corel or other graphic programs.
    I've got a picture in my head of a yellow/greenish combo- one of her earlier quilts.

    I don't have time to look now but will dig a bit when I get back.

    It will be very interesting to see what you come up with. The first rule of perspective is that objects in the foreground appear larger.

    Oh, yeah, I really like it with the border!!
    :thumbup: How come we all see it convex instead of concave?
    Would be astounding if some "shading" could be done with darker fabrics around the "rim".

    I'd love to see this for real. Unbelievable outcome with the strange cuts. Thanks so much for sharing. If you ever get the courage to try it be sure to show us.
