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’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!
