Optical Illusions Quilt Designs (Dover Pictorial Archive)

The traditional patterns in this prize collection of 44 quilt designs are widely varied in their appeal, but they have one intriguing quality in common: each creates a striking optical illusion.
On each page, noted quilt designer and lecturer Sharon Cerny Ogden presents both the full quilt design and one isolated block to facilitate an understanding of the design's basic structure. With titles as lively as the designs themselves, needleworkers and craftworkers can select from project patterns such as the Indiana Puzzle, Tumbling Blocks, Card Trick, King David's Crown, Dutchman's Puzzle, Corn and Beans, Farmer's Daughter, Bachelor's Puzzle, Calico Puzzle, Grandmother's Fan, Handy Andy, Bear's Paw, Kaleidoscope, Blockade, Flutter Wheel, and other visually fascinating designs.
An invaluable and expensive sourcebook for quilters and craftspeople, this volume of royalty-free motifs will appeal to graphic artists as well.
