Join secrets of perspective borrowed from fine arts with easy quilting methods to create modern quilted optical illusions. With 12 sophisticated quilts, award-winning designer Casey York teaches you to create landscapes that recede into the distance, objects that look three-dimensional, even fish that seem to swim underwater—all with easy raw-edge appliqué and straight-line machine quilting! Hand stitching finishes the appliqué with a clean look that still has a handmade feeling. These quilts look like they belong in a museum, but they are actually designed for everyday use.
