Great fabric, but maybe less is more. Keep us posted.

Paired up with solids, as you plan, these would DEFINITELY get onlookers into the spirit (pun intended)of the Drunkard's Path :-)

With wonderful fabrics like these I don't see how you can resist not having one of your quilts having an optical illusion effect.

I had to come back and clarify that I plan to pair these fabrics up with a solid. Probably a blue on one and a brown on the other. Now, what do you think?

Should be interesting-----if you don't get too dizzy sewing it.

OOOH, the only way I could work on this is in small pieces. I love the blue (would look nice on a solid brown).

I think if it's cut small enough it may work.

If I am not sure about the outcome of a block I make copies of the fabric on DH copier and "assemble" the blocks with the paper prints. No fabric wasted.

I would really like to know where from you have it. Someone posted a pic from a quilt with similar looking sashing and that looked great.
