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

Very nice....my scientist stepson and his teacher girlfriend love this type of quilt. Guess I'll have to produce one some day. Yours are fantastic!

Wow!

i made 5 of those blocks but they have been just hanging around...when i showed them to my hubby he decided i needed to make big bows for the blocks and make them into christmas gifts...then i showed them to my mom who wanted me to make them into pillows...neither of these visions came close to what i had planned for them, so now, they have just hung around my sewing room for 3 or 4 months...one of these days i will turn them into something....i sure love yours!

I love them. I have a lot of Karen Combs patterns but haven't tried them yet.
