Wow, wow, wow! What a beautiful quilt. Hats off to your LAer. Not all of them would have unstitched and redone. You did an excellent job on it.

Thank you everyone for your kind words about my Convex Illusion. Nativetexan, it is approximately 56 x 56. It will soon be hanging on my living room wall.

For those of you who have the pattern, jump in and get started. The absolute hardest part of this quilt was picking the fabrics. It took me a long time to decide what colors I wanted and then find all the fabrics I wanted for it. It is all strip piecing (like a bargello). The triangular pieces are just strip pieced squares that you cut in half.

This is my favorite type of quilt to make: Looks so hard and complicated, but is really very, very easy. Just take your time and mark your rows after you cut them so you don't mix them up.

The second picture is not the actual back of the quilt (that is brown), but just the design my quilter sent me to show what she would be doing. I will pass your compliments on to her. I am lucky to have such a talented quilter. It sure wouldn't look that this if I had quilted it myself.

I took the class. If you take your time, clear your mind, give yourself lots of space, read and re-read the instructions and take one step at a time, you will do fine. I decided to leave it as a "star" and hung it above my bed with little nails to hold it on the wall.
If you run into trouble, this board is amazing. I've made hand bags that were more difficult, some are UFO's.
