Finished Quilt: Take Two

 Ah, google, thanks for the reversed pictures.

Allow me to present the backing first.  It is a ridiculous sparkly Michael Miller fairy frost, intended for a project that never made it to cutting stage.  The guts of my machine needed a thorough cleaning after quilting.  A strip of purple made the backing just the right size.  You can also see my quilting here, simple arcs through the blue-green pieces.


This version varies from the original in that I flipped the values.  Instead of dark purple with dark blue-green, it was paired with the lightest shade.  I like how it makes blurry the section of the quilt where the middle shades meet.

I also changed my cutting, so the smallest cuts met in the middle instead of the corners.
I’m fairly confident I’m not done with optical illusion quilts just yet, but I think I have a few more projects to finish first!

August Block Count

 I thought I wrote this, but it seems to be lost somewhere or I never wrote it at all… August was a quiet block month, with only 42 16-patch...
