This is my first try at adding a photo or link, so bear with me :)
If anyone tries this, could they post a picture?
Thanks

I wonder about where your instructions say to "alternate" strips from the two sets.
For me alternate is a word you use when you have two sets which are all the same ("alternate blue and white strips" ). I think that the operation you are describing is more complex.
Do you mean
Cut each set as shown, to give 2 sets of vertical strips. Do not move the strips from their places after cutting, but keep each one carefully in its place. Starting from the left hand side of each set, take one strip from each and place them on a suitable separate surface, building up the design by adding a strip from each row in turn, until you have used all the strips from each set in order.

Suggest you look at http://www.cosman.nl he has done a large number of beautiful geometrical quilts. Great stuff and he has a free program you can download that will give you all the pieces to make the quilt.

Ps. I think if you are using it for YOU then it is OK if you are using it to sell it is not. Most artists are pleased for you to use personally their work, however, not for sale as that is how they make their living.
Please correct me if I am wrong here.

Re this tute - it's definitely something I'd like to try - I've just finished piecing a block bender and love the 3D cubes in OBWs so am really getting more and more into optical illusions - I have ideas bubbling away as well for a tessellated design inspired by Escher... You instructions look pretty clear from a skip read but I'll try and make it in the next week or so and I think that will be the best 'test', OK? :D :D :D And BTW I should have said THANK YOU for doing this! :-D
PS if you worked this out yourself rather than directly copied it, I see no need to take it down. There's no copyright in a technique, only the actual pattern text and pics them self. But maybe check with Patrice if you're concerned. I already saved it to my hard disk though. :mrgreen:
