We believe you! It's the illusion caused by dark colors at the bottom and light colors at the top - same sort of thing happens in a landscape quilt to make the distant mountains REALLY seem like they're far away, but it's all because of the way you use colors.

I love that !! Just trying to find the blocks would be a challenge. Did you just start by chopping blocks certain sizes and then placing them or was there a real plan? Now, am I being too personal? :oops: :lol:
Those bright colors just do the trick.

nope. that question isn't at all too personal.
sometime ago, there was a lot of buzz here at the board about a certain very popular commercial pattern. it's just three very simple blocks made from squares and rectangles. frankly, i didn't think it was worth the going price, so i decided to see what i could come up with. i just started dividing a block space into squares and rectangles. i don't know how many i could have "made" had i kept going, but i stopped at 21. the Neon Surprise doesn't use all 21. 18, if i remember correctly.
i offer it for sale. the price depends on whether the buyer wants it by email, on CD, or already printed. not that i wouldn't rather get paid, but i doubt i'd get cranky if somebody disected it themselves and made their own pattern. it's more or less mile-an-hour blocks that were thought out ahead of time instead of assembled randomly.
