Illusion Quilt
2 Attachment(s)
Hi Guys,
I saw a picture of a quilt similar to this on the internet but it wasn't quite what I wanted so I created exactly what I wanted in EQ8 and stitched it up. I am quite happy with the way it has turned out. Quilted on my Q'nique 15. |
Neat quilt and design!
|
This is an astonishing quilt to me. I've never really found a place in my heart for quilts that use only solids (or read-like-solids) because I always thought they would become boring after a while (a little judgemental, I know). What you have managed to create, however, is a work of art that capitalizes on the strength of solids. So innovative and so beautifully pieced and quilted - I know I would never tire of this! Once again, my eyes have been opened by this forum. Thanks so much for sharing. :-)

Very nice design and the quilting is perfect. Great job!!
|
Gorgeous quilt, and I am amazed by all those perfect points! (Isn't EQ8 great?)
|
Super quilt - and the reverse is interesting too!
|
Beautiful quilt! Nice to have a program you can work with. I don’t understand enough about computers so I have to work it out in my head-lol-Love the quilting!!!
|
Wonderful quilt
|
Absolutely beautiful! you did a great job with designing and making
|
Caroline, that is gorgeous!!!!!!!! I've missed your posts. :)
|
What an appealing quilt! Your color choices are a nice balance and well, the quilting is perfect but it is one of my favorites so I am a bit partial. https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images/smilies/wink.png

Really great 3D effect! Nice.
|
Great quilt, you should be happy with that!
|
Very striking! And in my favorite color!
|
A very bright and pretty quilt!
|
You did a marvelous job creating this! Perfect use of color!
|
Caroline, your quilt is beautiful. Great job. I bought EQ (some number) several years ago but have never used it. Been retired for 7 yrs. now and I guess it is past time to look into it. I learn better in class rather than on my own. I
l have to talk to the guild members to see if anyone is interested in teaching/learning the program. The guild is very small but someone in it must know how to use it. |

That looks great, did you use a pantograph for your quilting?
|
Great job designing And putting this one together! The quilting adds a nice contrast to the angular pattern in the top-well done.

I love this quilt and how the diamonds interlock. A very intreguing design and perfect quilting.

That is such a lovely thing to say. I have missed posting too. Lockdown put me in a real stitching funk... but hopefully I am out of it now and back at the machine!!!! Hugs Caroline |

This is one of the nicest things anybody has said about a quilt of mine. I am so happy that it has made you look at solids /solid like fabrics in a new way. The fabric I used was Linen Texture in dark blue, a lighter blue and a very pale grey! Thank you for your lovely words. Hugs Caroline |
WOW! I really like this. You did a fabulous job - colors, quilting, everything!!!
Bravo! DonnaMc |
Really LIKE that, great colors for this pattern and your quilting is outstanding.
|
Beautiful quilt and quilting.

Striking! You did a great quilting job.
|
I am impressed! What an amazing use of solid fabrics. Love the colors. The back is also so interesting. Congratulations!
|
That is very impressive! It definitely gives the illusion of 3-D.
|
Great quilt! Love your color choices and quilting too.
|
That's fun! I love it! (I think I have something similar pinned on pinterest!)
|
I love this quilt.
|
I'm working on this quilt! I hope mine turns out as nice as yours.
May I ask how you pressed your seams? I'm struggling with trying to minimize bulky seams. |
Beautifully made!
|
Illusion quilts have been on my want-to list for a long time now. I'm impressed that you drew it up in EQ, too. Great quilt!
|
That is amazing, love the colors that you chose.
|
You really are creative and you quilt is beautiful. I have EQ7 but I haven't designed a quilt yet. I use it mainly to figure up the yardage for blocks I put together.
|
Love your design, it looks so complicated
