    Default Optical Illusion

    This isn't a very good picture of the optical illusion quilt I made but it's the only one I have. It was fun to make.

    I love optical illusion quilts!! I even have that pattern. Seeing how well yours turned out, makes me want to try my hand at it too! What is the finished size of your quilt? I think it would make more of an impression as a wall hanging than as a bed quilt.

    So many very small squares! I'm partial to optical illusions and an optical illusion quilt is on my want-to-make list. Looking more closely at it, it seems similar to a bargello.

    I agree GingerK it should be hung on a wall to get the full effect of the illusion. It finished out at 84 x 84.

    Nice Job, I have that pattern but it looks like you added your own spin to it also. Someday I'll get around in making it though. Again, nice job!!!!
