I made these wallhangings using Karen Combs Quilts of Illusion technique (instructions, fabrics, and templates are available on her website). Each block has a light, medium, and dark side, and the shapes are diamonds, not squares. The blocks can be arranged in many different designs. It is a challenge to find three shades of each color. Karen Combs has fabrics for sale with four shades of one color running the length of the fabric.

How beautiful you quilts turned out! Karen Combs came to our guild and I took her workshop! It was ever so fun.

Wow such depth. Love your work.

Wow! Usually I can look at a block and sort of figure out how it was done--I have no clue how you did those but they are beautiful and your work is incredible. I love stuff that makes me go "hmmm" and you did!

They are both absolutely stunning!!!

These are magnificant! WOW I love visual illusions. I'll have to look at her website - another one added to "the list". thanks for sharing
