Illusion or Shadow quilt
 

I bought these charm squares when they were a special daily deal on MSQC with the intention of doing a shadow quilt.

I have looked thru Google and have not found any instructions on width of the shadow. Did Jenny ever doing an illusion quilt with charms?? Or should I just adjust the half cut layer cakes into the size of charm squares. THANKS! :)

What a beautiful set of charms! I have seen several of these completed quilts. The shadow looked to be 1" finished.

I looked on my MSQC app and Jenny did a video tutorial on the illusion quilt block. You can probably bring it up on utube and watch and she will give you all instruction you need. It is a rectangle.

There is a tutorial for a shadow quilt at this web address.

Shadows depend on the time of day and the season of the year. They need not be static in your work.

That's a great tutorial, Neanie, thanks for posting it!

I have made this quilt using 5" squares. I cut my shadow at 1 1/2", with a 1" finish. Worked really well.

I have made a few Illusion quilts. They are fun do make. Your charms will make a beauty. Love them.

Thanks IraJane. That is what I wanted to know. Just got them all done. I think I will attach the white as sashing because it is easier to nest your seams then how Jenny does it on her video.
