[/quote]PS if you worked this out yourself rather than directly copied it, I see no need to take it down. There's no copyright in a technique, only the actual pattern text and pics them self. But maybe check with Patrice if you're concerned. I already saved it to my hard disk though. :mrgreen:[/quote]

Yup! You are totally correct. As a teacher I have to be constantly careful to cite my references but if I create it myself... I'm good! There are lots bargelloes out there. Yours is just that. YOURS! Good on you for being so creative.

That is precisely what I meant :)

Very cool!! The instructions are easy enough to follow. Actually, except for keeping everything in order, the pattern is much easier than I ever imagined.

If I were doing it, I'd sew the Black and White strips together as soon as I cut each set. I know that's much slower, but it would help keep me organized.

That's why I drew up the pattern. I have seen one of these quilts, and I've seen an optical illusion coloring sheet and the pattern is a combination of the two. I wanted to try to figure out a way to strip piece one as opposed to sewing an extraordinary number of little squares together. I posted the tutorial so that when I finally get time to work on it, I will (hopefully) have a clear and accurate way to go about it, as opposed to spending 4 hours drafting, calculating, typing, removing, calculating, etc. And such came my call for guinea pigs (or proof readers!)

You could also mark them 1 2 3 4 as you cut-black topped strips would be odds, white topped would be evens

Looking at the yardage and he size of the finished piece, I'm thinking of doing it half size (yes I know that means 3/4" strips, I'm not scared!) I wonder how that would work out? Presumably if I just halved you measurements to cut the strips and again when sub cutting, and I'd only need half the width too.. I'm not overloaded with major yardage here and am keen to make a start with something from my stash. Any thoughts as to if half size would or wouldn't work?
