Winding Ways in Black and White with a Little Red Pizazz

Another quilt top is done and hanging on the wall, ready for further finishing (translate the actual quilting process). I love this pattern, because it creates all sorts of optical illusions. Be sure to enlarge the pictures so that you can see what happens as you look at the blocks. I apologize for the keystoning effect in the picture. I would have to be in the middle of the bed in this room in order to get a straight-on picture - and the footboard of the antique bed in that room gets in the way, anyhow. I originally thought this quilt would be all black and white, but it certainly sparked it up to have red added.

Don't you apologize for anything! A little corner of any of your quilts would be impressive. This one is beautiful. I love the red too. Your really know how to frame and add those special touches that just take your breath away. Or "pop" as the appraiser said.
