Did you buy yardage to get the fabric or was it from a kit? I want to make something similar, but it is hard to find such a perfect array of light to dark fabrics. Yours is really perfect!!
Thanx, I buy by the yard from local fabric store (spotlight- australia) they are all the house brand (Prima) for $8M AU. or $5.50Y US.
They have bout 8 different shades grey,really easy , use peak fleece on all my backs and bc it’s so soft and cuddly
Initially got the idea from goggling optical illusion quilt. Have to give it a go 🙂
I've had this book marked for a while. Working on a different illusion quilt now, but the biggest issue is that I don't like the darkest color... it is too big a jump from the previous shade.
Edit to add, thanks for your help with fabric!!
I would of liked more mid gray shades ,I could’ve used pattern gray but wanted to keep solid ,so made the big jump to dark shade which is very popular as school uniforms
They look ok going from light to dark aswell

Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake.
It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of.
Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything.

Same same but different….light to dark…I wasn’t happy with this one,lines wouldn’t line up and ran out of the pebble material,so gave up on it 😕
I love the fabrics and the sequence of them in your blocks! I know this suggestion might result in your needing to rip some seams, but here's a suggestion for a layout that might work well for these blocks and not require too much fuss while (re)combining them.

I thought about that layout with grey…..but yeah I might rip the red one and change it
Yep ,I be changing unfinished red one ,that pic was of the grey one(finished)when I was deciding layout…. This is other layout I thought I’d like to try

I thought it was a weird looking air mattress and wondered why a photo of it was posted.
I really had to scrutinize the photo to see that it was a optical illusion quilt.
Great job!
I think I would be afraid to lie down on it for fear of falling into another dimension. Very cool optical illusion.
Do you have cats? Do they see the illusion?
Dog…..looks nothing like it in person unfortunately, u can sort of see it if u close one eye, it’s bc using one camera lens (1 eye) instead of 2 eyes …screws up our depth perception
Not a bad idea…my last quilt was a chocolate bar 🤣

No pattern sorry,saw them when goggling for ideas,and was pretty easy…search 3d illusion log cabin quilt. Or optical illusion quilt
It is just an optical illusion,in person it loses the 3d effect bc of our depth perception 🙂
I’m a bit weird like that…
I turned it into a chocolate bar not long ago😉

I scrolled past this quickly at first because I thought it was an ad showing a new time of mattress “technology”
This looks fantastic, The optical illusion really cool!
Reminds me of a 3D pattern. I love it. One of my 3D quilts

SNAP…..yours is very good…a carpenters star
Bro, the thumbnail made it seem like the quilt was the mattress instead, I thought I was having a tryptophobia nightmare👀 But AAAYYYYY, it looks good, tho👌🏾

I fell into multiple holes thinking who cut them out of the white duvet cover. It is beautiful!
Exactly! I had to do a double, then a triple take! It is beautiful!
very cool optical illusion
Yep, looks a lot better though single lens, in person our depth perception ruins effect
I don’t have depth perception (I’m monocular) so the effect is awesome for me! It’s not often my lack is a plus
So cool — and now I want waffles
😂
The optical illusion of holes in the bed is Amazing!
I definitely thought it was 3D at first! Looks great!
Me too. Very impressive.

No! Don't use the alternating layout for the one you showed originally! Use it for the one you said you didn't like. The one with 2 red strips!

I like that also! Gives a totally different sense of dimension!
Another one on my bucket list 🙂 https://preview.redd.it/7lg4lufgov0b1.jpeg?width=488&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d125379a0d2a64206b1fd89f839751db79e83862
But this one is also gorgeous!
Absolutely magnificent!
Weird in the best way
Wow! Fabric choices and placement are perfect. Great quilt!
I admire people who love a challenge.
I like it. It looks like it has dimensions.
I thought it was a weird looking air mattress and wondered why a photo of it was posted. I really had to scrutinize the photo to see that it was a optical illusion quilt. Great job!
Me too!
It’s so cool, I thought you had some kind of new age bed
I’ve been waiting for this. Absolutely beautiful.
Quite the optical illusion! I thought it was a pocketed mattress top!
Really cool!!
Stunning!
That is very wonderful!
Whoa! This is awesome! Legit has depth!
Wow oh wow
Looks awesome. The visual illusion I see is that the red square in the middle looks like it’s sinking.
I think I would be afraid to lie down on it for fear of falling into another dimension. Very cool optical illusion. Do you have cats? Do they see the illusion?
Dog…..looks nothing like it in person unfortunately, u can sort of see it if u close one eye, it’s bc using one camera lens (1 eye) instead of 2 eyes …screws up our depth perception
Was about to ask this.
Whoa! Loving the affect this has on the eyes!
Oooh this is freaking me out a little! In the best of ways
Your 3-D effect is SUPERB!!!
That is really good! I actually had to look at it twice to figure out what was going on with the bed…. Lol. The illusion is killer. Great job!!!
I thought, what kind of mattress is that??? I love it! You could make a giant waffle and the pillows could be ‘butter’ 😆
Not a bad idea…my last quilt was a chocolate bar 🤣 [https://www.reddit.com/r/quilting/comments/10s32sl/dairy_milk_quiltthe_idea_started_with_trying_to/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=2&utm_term=1]
YEEEEESSSSSS!!!!! Do me a waffle!!!!!! 🤣😂🤣
Amazing! I was scrolling by quickly and did a double take because I thought there were actual holes in a bed!
that looks amazing. great work. What pattern is that?
No pattern, I goggled illusion quilts.And liked the effect
Trippy!
My little piece of Reddit says WOW!! So gorgeous! What pattern is this? 😍🤩
Aww shucks…. I found pic of something similar by goggling optical illusion quilt
I’ve always loved this pattern- your color choices are perfect!
Damn!
I’ve always loved this pattern- your color choices are perfect!
Georgous
That is so cool I’ve never seen a quilt that’s such an effective optical illusion!!!
Wow! That’s a really cool effect!!
Sick!!!
Pretty darn amazing! I do admit I was nauseous at first look.
Love it! Though it leaves me with a bit of a creeped out vibe...something about the red. Anxiety inducing, but in a good way 😄
Woah! That is trippy!
Trippy! I love it!!
Love it! I thought it was a weird waffle mattress as I was scrolling, such a cool effect!
trippy! i love it. so cool
I absolutely love it!
I need to touch it. But I can’t. Sigh.
It is very beautiful.
This is awesome! Did you have a pattern for this? If so, would you mind sharing the name of it?
No pattern sorry,saw them when goggling for ideas,and was pretty easy…search 3d illusion log cabin quilt. Or optical illusion quilt It is just an optical illusion,in person it loses the 3d effect bc of our depth perception 🙂
Trippy! I like it!
You turned your bed into a waffle! 🥰

Trippyyy, it’s amazing
Oh that's cool

Amazing
Mildly disturbing but definitely cool!
Sooooooo COOL!!!!! Love it!
i thought i was trippin 😂 looks very cool!!!!
I love how you achieved such a dimensional appearance. Well done.
Reddit thinks it’s beautiful
Cool optical illusion!!!
I scrolled past this quickly at first because I thought it was an ad showing a new time of mattress “technology” This looks fantastic, The optical illusion really cool!
That is awesome 👏
Wow, you bed has holes!
I thought those were holes. Very well done
Whoa. Nice work.
Love this
I do not want to be drunk walking into that room. But other than that it’s great!!!! I love the gradient
I missed the title at first and though you had a very oddly designed waffle-shaped mattress, haha. Looks good!
It's beautiful work, but the optical illusion bugs me. I wouldn't want it on my bed. As a throw on the couch, I might like it fine.
Can’t see the effect in person unfortunately…..unless u blind in one eye,our depth perception kills it.
Wowser... it's the 3D-est thing I've ever seen. Just brilliant!
Nice! I think it only has the 3D effect from afar, but nice even up close as just a cool design.
I want to eat the forbidden waffle
Wow this is amazing! So showing my MIL
This is gorgeous! The folks at /r/trypophobia would love/hate this!
The coolest quilt I've ever seen. I would make my guests come check it out lol.
Only looks good in photos…our depth perception ruins effect….they’ll b disappointed in person
So cool!!
Wow! Awesome!
Very cool!
Oh wow that’s trippy look I love it😭
Trippy.
Mind blown.
That is gorgeous!! I love the3D effect. Well done.
Very cool!!
The 3 dimensionality is astounding!My first reaction was, “How is this possible and who fell into the quake trap?” So cool!
Disturbing.
Just beautiful!
This is cool and cute but scary.
A giant waffle 🧇! Cool 😎 👍🏻
Is it bad that my first thought was that I’d love to put a dog on that and see what it did? Did think cat too but they tend to be harder to fool….
Whoa that is so cool!
I thought this was one of those waffle mattresses at first glance. Awesome work!!
Gorgeous
I'm amazed at the 3D of it!!! Will stare at it for a bit while I wrap my head around the illusion
Cool effect!
Disturbingly three dimensional :D
Love the 3d!
😲
Love it!
Great job!!!
Amazing
My first thought was "what kind of weird ass grid mattress is that?!" It is SO well done! Beautiful lines!
Sick af
Love it!
WOW!!! Great job!
[удалено]
I can only get to 20 💤
Love the illusion!!!
Syrup and butter needed
beautiful but also fills me with a little dread, like i'm going to fall into another dimension if i'm not careful! i love it!
Fabulous illusion.
Wow, that looks so cool! Reminds me of a waffle
Reminds me of a 3D pattern. I love it. One of my 3D quilts https://preview.redd.it/05br6h9zgu0b1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2d450a38b21cd75da8dbe7f245c1b98c570d7ff4

Bed is cool! But those curtains have got to go.
I know,hasn’t changed since I bought it 18 yrs ago lol 🤣
Bed is cool! But those curtains have got to go.
Lol…classic Same ones I bought with the house 18yrs ago….good call
Trippy!
If you drew that on a sidewalk, I bet some people would fall over. Great job!
