Part one - Done

I always consider making the quilt top to be Part One.  There is still the layering, quilting and binding to be done.
So Part One  of the Eye-llusion quilt is done.

I had to piece the border, so I decided to add some little pops of color in the border. The green border fabric is not the same as the green pieces, but it matches so closely that it isn't obvious.  The plan was to add another border of the purple fabric, but once this border was on the size was perfect.   So I will piece the back and use the purple strips I had already cut for border in the backing.
I just love this quilt top.
For those of you who are trying to learn about putting colors together let me try to explain this one.  Purple is made by mixing blue and red.  Green is made by mixing blue and yellow.  Thus blue is the common link in the green and purple.
Someone said "I would never think to put purple and green together!"  I said "Take a look at nature! An iris is purple on a green stem and it is lovely."

Yes, if it goes together in nature it is a sure bet it will work in quilting or painting!
