do you mean that little piece to the left of the pinwheels?

No, its in the very last row- looks lik its next to a green and beige quilt and in the border looks like the squares are on point.
Sorry this is so much trouble.

Thanks,

it's magenta and black. it looks like red and white, though.
it's one of those optical illusion quilts.

hey, kathryn, are you listening? what's the name of that quilt?

Thank you Thank you- every since I saw the Red and White quilt pictures from the armory in New York I fell in love with the optical illusion quilts and haven't been able to find a pattern for them. Again thank you.

Thanks B, that's cool! I made my version based on the tute here on the board http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-102422-1.htm

Due to a shortage of fabric (following me making a cutting error :mrgreen: ) I adapted the pattern to make it rectangular instead of square and I did the blocks half the size given - it was a bit of a job to work it out because of including the seam allowances in the calculations and I did it while watching TV, hence the mistakes. Sadly, I didn't keep my scribblings to share the dimensions with you... This was one of the pieces I sold - it was bought by a neighbour who is a 'child of the sixties' and it now hangs in his living room so I can visit it anytime I like. I might make another one in black and white one day, though I loved how the pink and grey turned out. Any strong contrasting colours would work - purple and orange would be groovy! 8-)
