Great job K3n!! I love the patterns that play tricks on your eyes.

This is another on my list of "to do" quilts. I have had this pattern for ages, my son wants in in red and black, but it will just have to wait for a while yet. (96 blocks done 24 to go but who is counting ) :lol:

I made mine half size and a bit modified - the original comes out at 63" square and mine is a 39" x 30" rectangle! This was partly due to suitable fabric shortage on my part and the fact that I halved the measurements (which still should have been square!) then some miscalculation which left me even more short of fabric so I had to rejig the pattern to this rectangular version! I don't think it does marsspyder's pattern complete justice and think I'll make the full size version one day but for now, I think it turned out OK.

Others seem to see the 3D effect better than I can - I think because I made it so have a) looked at it too long and b) my brain 'knows' the trick! Anyway thanks for reading this far (if you did!) and thanks for looking. :-D

EDIT - the further back you go from your screen, the more pronounced the effect! Apologies in advance for any nausea caused! :mrgreen: :lol:

You could have called it the "pepto bismol" LOL. I like that its pretty cool, but it does play with the eyes. :) Nicely done.
