The fabric is Moda's Poems From Pebbles. I got them from Green Fairy Quilts. I fell in love with the line after making some bags with it.

I wonder if that straight line quilting idea is the way to go. I want to enhance or pop the shadow effect--not distract from it. Feline Fanatic is my quilting advisor, but she knows I need simple easy ideas... very simple, very easy. lol

Me too. I was confused by the upper left corners being slanted, until I realized that the left strips were not laying completely flat. Funny how our eyes can fool us into "seeing" things.
