Houston Quilt Show, Round 3

Quilting can be so mathematical. All the symmetry, all the precision - who wouldn't love it? Here are some if my favorite mathematical and/or optical illusion quilts.

This one got an innovation award as being a quilt of the future. Yes, it's 3D, and those are quilted pieces that were cut and somehow adhered on a 90 degree angle.

This one had teeny-tiny squares. The center consists of small log cabins sewn together. Crazy!


This one is just nuts. Ok, so you see the block pattern from far away in the big picture. But check out the close-up image. The quilted circles make it look completely different close up!
This one was fun too. I'll forgive that there are two orange and blue boxes (ahem, UVA), since there's a blue and maize one in the center of the quilt.
