My husband turned 30 earlier this month. He's been haranging me for a quilt practically since I've known him. His birthday seemed like the perfect opportunity and after a few fits and starts, I settled on trying something geometric in the hopes that the trick to your eye would work. It kinda did. I pieced the top in a day and hand quilted like mad when he would go out of town for work. Had I gotten things together a little sooner and not gone out of town myself, I might have
finished. But, alas, I had to present it undone. And undone it remains. But, it did help teach me that I really can get stuff done if I focus. So, I'm feeling confident that it will be finished before summer is over.

the finished top. it has the desired effect as a thumbnail photo. and if i did it again, i'd do much thinner strips and a more gradual progression. live and learn, i still like it
