Marie's Optical Illusion Rule #10

I'm so happy to finish another rule.  Now I'm only 2 months behind!  Rule #10 is 4 disappearing 9 patches.  The technique was to use a folded insert.  I've never made d9p before, and they were really fun.   I combined the folded insert with the d9p's. 

I really had fun making this (faux) cathedral windows block.


 I don't know what to call this block.  It's rather different, but it is a d9p and it has fabric folds.

I used folded pinwheels in my last rule, and decided to put some in this one too.


Here are my 4 d9p pieced together.  The hearts aren't folded, but they fit my optical illusion theme.


I added the 3-d continuous triangles because I thought I needed  more optical illusions.


Here is the whole quilt, just waiting for me to finish the next rules.

I LOVE your block. The different things that can be done to enhance the look is fun. You have done an outstanding job, and can't wait to see what you do next.
