I think it works and will look great! The black/blue is not too much, in my opinion, and I love the solid black on the outside which, of course, will create the illusion.

This quilt is going to be striking!

so, what do you think now moreland? And anyone else who wants to chime in...

Well......yes, maybe I do like this better. I think she was right about the solid blue; it did stop the eye. I like this block A Lot! Can't wait to see your finished quilt.

Thank you for the information. The quilt is very strikingly beautiful. I can see that this pattern's dimension effect comes from fabric choice as well as pattern. It is a great project.
