Don’t look if you have vertigo!

What’s going on here anyway? Those sloping lines are actually parallel, but don’t tell!

Making placemats is fun with this easy to make optical illusion. Use black and white for the best contrast and the most bizarre look.

Instructions are included for the table runner and placemats. Finish the look with raw edge applique and quick quilting.

Be sure to view the photo gallery further down to see what others have done with this pattern!
