WOW!! That is quite a quilt -- stunning! It must have taken a lot of planning to keep that pattern straight.

Both patterns are my own - I've posted a tutorial on the Op-Art. The avatar quilt was drafted to look like an 1830 quilt in the Univ. Neb. Lincoln quilt collection - I worked from a photo (with permission) about 3" square.
