Convex Illusion
 

Here is my Convex Illusion, one of my favorite quilts I have ever made. I absolutely love it. Just need to get it bound. Unfortunately, my quilter did not love it. She did not baste it enough when she started quilting it and since everything in this quilt is on the bias, when she was about halfway done she realized things were slipping towards one corner. She called me and apologized all over the place because she was not going to get it done by the time I wanted it because she would have to remove all the stitching she had done and rebaste it better and then requilt it. I told her not to worry about the timing (I had wanted it for our local quilt show), that there would be another show where I could display it. It took her a while to get it done, but it was worth the wait. I had been concerned about holes in the fabric from the previous quilting, but she did an awesome job of requilting it. I am also attaching a picture of the actual stitchout design so you can see it better. Isn't it fabulous?

Such a beautiful quilt. It looks like an optical illusion. Very nice of your quilter to inform you of the issues and I am sure she appreciated your patience. For sure it was worth the wait.

It is stunning ! - both front and back!

It most definitely is beautiful!! how large it is?

This is beautiful

Gorgeous!!! I love this quilt also. I bought the pattern after seeing one on display at our state fair last year. How did the process go for you? I've hesitated jumping in. Do you have any thoughts or suggestions? You did a wonderful job!

Wonderful!!

Stunning! I have this convex on my bucket list; like Anniedeb, I'd love to hear how the process went for you. The quilting pattern is perfect and kudos to your quilter for recognizing a problem and fixing it.

i bought the pattern. hopefully one day I will actually make it. :eek:
