Creating an Optical Illusion Quilt

7/11/2020

 
In the Tech Know Quilter group, a number of members are having fun working on Optical Illusion quilts. 

​Members have been taking my instructions from the More Optical Illusions class and expanding on the concepts to create original optical illusion quilts.

Optical Illusion with Quilting EQ8 Tutorial

Would you like to share in a bit of the fun that is happening in the Tech Know Quilter group?  I designed the following project for my latest Optical Illusion class -- but didn't have enough room to include it in the course.

So you can learn how to create an optical illusion quilt -- with added quilting lines to compliment the quilt.

Tech Know Quilters Break the Rules for New Optical Illusion Quilt Designs

To date, I have presented four new optical illusion lessons this month in the Tech Know Quitler's group and no one is following the rules. 

​Which makes for a wonderful show.  Each of the designs shared is a variation of one of the lessons, or they just threw the lesson out and did their own thing.  I am so impressed with their designing skills.

I really enjoyed this exercise. I'm in the middle of playing catch-up with past months TKQ lessons, so this was just a fun intermission. I'd love to show what I've done with it, especially using tools I've learned in other lessons to make a 9-block quilt.
