How does this read to you: black or white?

My eyes cross and I can't get a feel for it.

Thank you!

WOW that is terrific! I love optical illusions but that one is spectacular! I don't know why you would want to label it one or the other. I just see both black and white. Love it!!

I wanted to use it in a black/white log cabin and wanted to know if I should put it in the light or dark side. If a decision can't be made (and I am not having much luck in my facebook voting) I will just have to put it in a pattern Wes found and liked :)

I think if you use it in a log cabin block, it could be either - depends on what it is next too - so you could use it for both light AND dark!

It looks like there are equal amounts of black and white in the print. So it reads like black and white to me.

What if you put a piece of it next to some black fabric and a piece of it next to some white fabric.

It might look different to me then.

I think if you use it sporadically on both dark and light it will give your quilt sparkle. i recently made Bue Betty for my Great Aunt and didn't have enough of a color, sooo, I substituted shite in a few place and it really looked great!

use the search at the top and type Blue Betty. Take a look at the pics and you will see what i mean about sparkle! I just love that word. tee hee
