Optical Squares II |
It is a 36″ square wall quilt created with yarn dyed shot cotton. The quilt was machine pieced and quilted, and hand-bound. Visit Amy’s Quilts photo album and prepare to be amazed and inspired. Amy is scheduled to share some of her quilting wisdom with us this month, so we can all look forward to her upcoming article!

That’s a fabulous quilt!
Very cool design! I love how there is so much depth to it…the longer you look at it the more you see.
Wow – so striking. Each time I look back at it my eye is drawn to a different area.
Looks like it took lots of time – but most of all precision! Beautiful and lots of detail!
Amazing quilt!
I really like all those warm, rich colors! Beautiful!

This is where accuracy really pays off!

Two words – Simply Gorgeous
It´s stunning! Great design and wonderful colors!
I have admired Amy’s blog and creations for a long time. She’s awesome at eyeing fabrics and combining colors/ patterns. This is such a fabulous piece!
I love how the colors and pattern combine to make a mezmerizing, but not obnoxiously busy whole. Thanks for sharing this one!
How pretty!
Um. WOW. It looks so tedious with all those strips!
Beautiful.

Wow! I’m pretty picky about quilts, but this is BEAUTIFUL! The only way I could love it more would be if it were in teal shades… Someday. Someday.

Thanks you all – you are making me blush. And to clarify a few things — yes – the blocks are 9 inches finished made from 4 triangles of striped shot cotton fabric. Cutting and sewing does take a bit of patience and precision but I’m no master so it really can’t be THAT hard. There are some bias edges involved so you do have to handle a bit carefully. The real trick and the real fun is getting the right combo of fabrics and laying them out in a design that flows. (And Amanda — he makes lots of shot cotton stripes in blues/teals/aquas! I’m stockpiling with the idea of making one in that colorway someday.)
Absolutely stunning!! Gorgeous fabric choices for a really nice pattern. Keep up the great work!
