Welcome to the last day of our blog party for Optical Illusions: Innovative Designs for the Modern Quilter! Thanks for hanging out with us for the last two weeks.
We hope you learned a little about the book and were inspired to create your own illusion quilt. Be sure to send us images on our Facebook page if you do!
Today we leave you with Jessica Toye, of Jessica Toye Quilts. Her guests are Jacquie Gering, of Tallgrass Prairie Studio, and Shea Henderson, of Empty Bobbin Sewing.
Jessica’s quilt, Water Ripples, is a fabulous quilt to feature on the last day of our blog tour. Of all the illusions featured in the book, this one is probably the most “illusiony.” By simple color placement of two blues, black and white, the illusion reverberates across the quilt. You have to stand back to see the movement, just like water rippling across the ocean surface.
Go to Jessica’s blog to see the entire quilt. You’ll want to make your own. She’s also giving away a copy of the book. Then head to Jacquie’s blog to enter to win a Kona Color Card and to Shea’s to enter to win a large and small Kaleido-Ruler set by Marti Michell.
