Techincal Details:

This is a simple rail fence pattern... the optical illusion is created by the graduated shades of grey. I like the effect so much that I'm going to dye my own fabric (yes, I have instructions for exactly how to do that) in the six shades that are used in the quilt. I am going to try and copy this one as exactly as I can... I am still enamoured of the effect.

Update: I didn't dye enough fabric to make the borders... so I'm going to change them. I've got a piece of rainbow fabric that is gently graduated (okay, right now it's a skirt... but I can fix that!) that will be a lovely frame for this. I'm also going to line it in silver... because every cloud has a silver lining. ;)

Okay.. I have another quilt I want to use that border on.. so no rainbow border. I don't know if I'm going to put any border on it or not... maybe just a black binding.
