As white pine circled above, there is the primary block we construct, and the illusion of a second block created by the sashing and cornerstones.
char, that is really unique and interesting! I just love the colors you chose; beautiful fabrics!
Ok now I see it. I missed the diagram when I read it on my phone. It does have a secondary pattern formed by the sashing with the aqua bit in the middle. But I still can't tolerate it.
On the other had, went to the MFA in Boston to the big quilt exhibit and I have to say a couple of the old Amish tessellating color block patterns were pretty wild and crazy!
This BH quilt may be on a museum wall someday - it is certainly radical enough to be snatched up by a collector.
