    Also notice that the black shadow does NOT go all the way to the edges of the floating square, to get the illusion of a shadow, you need to put that little bit of background on the corners.

    They look like they were cut 1 1/2". It really looks nice.

    Love your quilt very neat effect!
    Would this work if you had a drk bkg and used white as shadow then a light.
    Would you still get this effect?
    Any pic using white out there?
    Thanks Gale

    I love the shadow idea for a tee shirt quilt, they really look like they're floating.

    Thanks for the idea and the web sites!!

    To add border or not to add border - that is the question. Thanks!
