And…..No, I am not mad!!
When I posted yesterday about making an optical illusion quilt, I started remembering one that I made as part of a guild challenge back in 2000. We picked color swatches out of a hat and my color was RRRREEEEDDDD!!!
I had wanted to try an optical illusion quilt and found a great pattern in this book that just happened to be on my shelf…..
Sadly, this book is now out of press!
This is the quilt that I made…..
It was amazingly easy to make, but I did have to be EXTREMELY precise in my cutting and piecing.
Since most illusions are made with straight lines they do lend themselves to fun quilt designs.
I did a bit of research for books and found these…..
Now what I REALLY want to do is to design one myself so it may be a while before I get one made.
But I can always dream!!
And, truth be known, my TRUE desire is to make something like this…..

Have you made an optical illusion quilt?? Did you enjoy it??

One of my favorite things about quilting is to motivate others and help them in their quilting journey. As part of this endeavor, I LOVE to present programs and workshops to groups and guilds around the world. All of my programs work well with Zoom meetings and I would love to speak to your group.
