“A Quilter’s Dream” at Quilt Dash this Month

Posted on February 20, 2020 by TK HarrisonFebruary 14, 2020

An optical illusion is something that deceives
the eye by appearing to be other than it is.

That’s what’s happening with this month’s free quilt pattern over at Quilt Dash.
You don’t get the free pattern just for playing our Quilt Dash game. Oh no, you don’t 🙂 ! You must complete the Quilt Dash & then you’ll earn this month’s free quilt pattern.

“A Quilter’s Dream”
Optical Illusion One

This beautiful quilt was designed by Phyllis Dobbs for Quilt Dash.

Here’s what Phyllis has to say about her quilt pattern: “Create a quilt that can be an optical illusion with this on-point quilt pattern consisting of half square triangles and quarter square triangles. Quilters Dream quilt pattern consists of 5 different 8” blocks. An alternate arrangement of the blocks is shown for another option of creating your quilt. The quilt size is 44” x 55 1/4.”

“A Quilter’s Dream”
Optical Illusion Two

See what I mean? Isn’t it amazing how you can just move a few different blocks around & come up with a completely different quilt? I bet you could even change them around a couple more times & still have something different.
Each & every time!
