A true shadow box quilt will not have the "shadow" fabric going the full length and width of the focus fabric. The shadow fabric needs to have a square of background fabric sewn on the end to give the 3d effect. I can't tell by the photos but if you sew the black strips you have to the opposite side of each block will they be squares or still rectangles. If they become squares, then I suspect the pattern the original piecer had in mind was this one that barnbum made a while back:

I'm working on my second Illusion quilt. The Illusion has a white square on the bottom of the black. Then a black strip with a white square would be sewn across the top. The blocks are then put together with white sashing. This gives the illusion.

A agree with Tartan and Twinkie, a beautiful Shadow Box.

I made an Illusion quilt and these definitely resemble some of the parts.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you.[ATTACH=CONFIG]530238[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]530237[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]530239[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]530240[/ATTACH] Use your creativity. |
I like all of these ideas, just love the materials. Good Luck with your choice.

OOOOOOOOOO oooooooo I would cut the blocks in half, rotate one and stitch it back together,
|
My initial thought was the same as Feline Fanatic. It looks like a brick pattern.
|
I agree with the shadow box idea

Very nice gift. I love the fabrics. Very pretty
