This graphic quilt was inspired by the timeless optical illusion called Café Wall. When viewed from a distance, the thin lines look skewed when in reality they are straight. Add a pop of your favorite color to personalize this design to your décor.

Pattern includes full color diagrams and instructions for making the quilt in 3 sizes, plus machine quilting suggestions.

For best results, choose 3 fabric values: light, medium and dark. Use the light and dark fabrics for the squares, with the medium fabric as the thin strip in between. Fabrics can be any colors, solids or prints. Fabrics shown are designed by Christa.
