We are half way through the blocks with a really big one this week!
The Optical Illusion block is the main focus of the quilt and introduces a new technique, the Half Rectangle Triangle.
Cassandra has written very clear instructions for the HRT and also created a video that you can check out. Half Rectangle Triangles have a bit of a twist to them, so make sure you read through and watch.
Isn’t it beautiful? I can imagine a whole quilt with just this block, can’t you?
If you are here after July 10th head over to Cassandra’s Etsy shop to purchase this block.
