- Sam Wilde is a new designer for Free Spirit fabrics and I was fortunate to receive his new collection - Florescence to work with. I have wanted to make an optical illusion quilt for ages and this seemed like the perfect opportunity! Don't you just love how it came together? as promised, I will list the sizes at the end of this description.
It really is the support from my lovely Patrons that allows me to keep this show on the road and I am very grateful to each one of you!

The measurements I used
the 'feature' squares are 5"
the 'shadow' fabric is 1.5" wide and 5.5" long - this will need trimming a little when you sew each one to the square,
The little offset pieces are 1" x 1.5"
make sure you get the shadow layout opposite each other.
The sashing I used was 2" wide.
Have a play with the layout and alter the sizes to suit yourself
Enjoy

Kate i want to thank you for being such a kind person. My son killed himself 2 years ago. I have been with you for years. And when my heart is breaking i sit down and watch you. With tears rolling down my face your wonderful personality always helps me get out of my heartbreak and into my hands. I have made more quilts with you in the last 2 years than ever. I give them all away. Thank you again for giving me a place on your lime green sofa.
So sorry for your loss:( she is quite calming in her way isn’t she…
@patriciasmith6992 My deepest sympathy for your loss.
My condolences for your loss.❤
Oh, I'm so sorry! Be kind to yourself and be glad for having found a pleasant and useful distraction. I'm sure the pain is overwhelming at times.
Condolences. Rest in Peace 🌹
Wow!! That's is spellbinding ❤ 22:30
I think the designer of the fabric will appreciate how you have used this material. It’s going to be an awesome quilt.
Kate what a beautiful quilt! You certainly did justice to that gifted fabric. Your Pinterest quilt board looks very similar to mine. Thank you for the reminder and the inspiration to get back to the illusion quilt I started years ago. Thanks again for all that you do. I just love all of your videos quilting or otherwise.
My husband was my maths genius, I’d go running to him, show him what I had and what I wanted to end up with, and he would figure it out. He was also good at drawing my project out for me. I lost my dear husband 3 years ago after 48 years together. I still ask him for help, and eventually we figure it out . Your quilt is amazing, thank you.
I’m so sorry about you losing your beloved husband
❤❤
What a treasured memory to have. Sorry for your loss. Take care.
So sorry for your loss. My husband too is the maths whizz in our house. He's great at anything to do with numbers but cannot visualise, whereas I can. We make a good team lol.
I can empathize. I lost my husband almost 3yrs ago after 33 yrs together. I still ask him questions 😊.
Kate. Wonderful…just wonderful! I needed you today. I haven’t been on for a while, and I apologize. I can always count on you to give me a cyber hug. This was a great how to video! I used Agnes’s English paper piecing quilt as a background for many, many months. ❤️
Really a perfect choice for the fabrics!!! You are a joy to watch in your creative process… thanks for being here ❤
Spot on with your binding thought, Kate. Love ❤ your quilt!
Thumbs up if your watching it helps Kate out
I don’t even watch them first before I hit thumbs up 😂. She deserves every bit of success
The best love it I would like to buy it but I live in P E I. CANADA YOU THE BEST👍🏻
When you become a quilter, all those times we said ‘we will never use algebra in our real lives’, it comes back to haunt us.
Same with geometry😊
😂😂😂 if they told you this in school, and gave you examples in real life, I think the lessons would have been way more interesting
As a former algebra teacher, I can sympathize! If only we were allowed to teach math in this useful way!
🤣

❤ hello Ms Kate ! My mother who’s turning 88 tomorrow, came across your channel about a month ago and she’s been watching you daily for hours. You have encouraged her to want to make another quilt, she hasn’t made one in years. She calls me to her room all through the day to show me what you’re doing and what supplies and fabrics you’re using ❤. Thanks for sharing your life! You’ve uplifted my mom; she’s been a little sad because she can’t move around like she’d like but she’s inspired now and I’m looking for supplies, tables, and fabrics for her. Lol 😊 please continue your work. My moms name is Lula. She’s still understanding how to like your videos; I try to catch her on some of them. We thank you again for sharing your expertise and beautiful work. ❤ Have a wonderful day 🎉
Wow,wow,wow. Absolutely love it. The floating illusion is amazing. You are a genius. ❤️❤️❤️
As was mentioned in another comment, 17,000 views and 4,800 likes. Leave a thumbs up for all the work it takes to produce a video. It helps the maker.
Love the quilt! The colours are very fresh & vibrant! Beautiful work Kate x
The optical illusion quilt is the perfect choice for the lovely bold fabric. The black shadows make the colours and patterns sing!
I see that you’ve figure out once you’ve completed one block to place it nearby so you can see what needs going where. 😉 precutting the strips and chain piecing is ideal! So lovely!❤
I dont make quilts, my mother does. She is mathematically challenged as well. So i do all her calculations and drawings for her. I even make her templates.
Kate, you are doing amazing!! It must be this left and right brain thing because you are so creative! A true artisit!
Thank you for channel!
Admire your ability to do what you are doing! So creative!
Love your work. At 73 I decided to make my 9 grandchildren a quilt in 9 months just by watching you. Thank you
Wow - just love the effect.
❤😊 Awesome, I'm 65 learning also, Thank's Kate and Anna, Enjoying Ur Beautiful Creating!! Kate U teach Us Awesome, make easily to follow, I'm going too try Too!! ❤😊
Благодарю за идею. Воспользуюсь. Творческих успехов всем рукодельницам.
A very good idea with the shadows being cut in long and larger pieces. Well done.
I dearly love watching your videos. I also appreciate that you admit troubles as it makes me feel better knowing its not just me. Please keep the videos coming.
So much pleasure watching you work on your beautiful quilt and "visiting" you and your lovely home! Thank you, Kate, for the wonderful visit!
You won't fall asleep while you are making that quilt. The colours seem to pop right off the fabric. Such a happy quilt that will make.
Kate, it's a wonderful quilt. Sitting on the lime green sofa with all your RUclips friends, having a chat and a biscuit. I love watching your videos, always look forward to Sundays to share some time with you. ❤
Pure genius, Kate! Thanks for processing in real time. So many of us struggle in the same areas.... and turn out beautiful results.
I am loving watching you make this quilt but I don’t think I will be sewing one myself! Love that material. X
That is a pattern that every time I see it done, I think, "I want to do that one too!". Yours came out lovely with those fabrics Kate. I was thinking that maybe I could do one with a square from each of the fabrics in my stash. Well, maybe not from ALL the fabrics - that might well cover my whole town! LOL Thanks for sharing with us Kate.
Wow Kate that’s amazingly impressive
Your the only person I know who understands the challenge I simply cannot see in my minds eye how things are going to look , I have to make a few wrong ones until it clicks, thanks for understanding x
Me too! I was always told that no one can choose the worst patterns better than me!
Black to black to remember putting strips on. Very nice THANKYOU
I personally have never seen anyone use this method Kate. I think all your quilts are darling just the same as you! Your DIL is very fortunate to have you. My MIL and I get along fabulously so I love when other people do as well.
Love it, love it, LOVE IT!
I recently made a shadow quilt. I believe I ripped every seam. Your way of doing it makes so much sense.
Should have waited until the end of your video before I commented - the quilt top looks absolutely amazing
Kate, I loved this illusion quilt. I showed it to my four daughters and some of my grandchildren. I am now working on the sixth illusion quilt with the seventh waiting in the wings. Thank you so much for your inspiration.
I love the pattern. What a beautiful quilt it is.
Oh, Kate, this is absolutely gorgeous! The shadow look makes the different fabrics not clash. It is wonderful. Thank you for sharing.
An idea, for the binding..frame the quilt with a narrow band of black and then a multicoloured band..so the floating square colour can bounce against. Kate I’m not sure if this makes sense or not.. quilt is inspiring…
Amazing how the fluorescent blocks seem to be floating! Beautiful work Kate👏
I absolutely love that quilt!
I am the queen of not having quite enough fabric to finish a project! I feel for you!! ☺️
Love your videos! Love this quilt! Love you! I do have a suggestion for you that has helped me immensely. I had terrible shoulder fatigue from sewing long periods of time. My daughter noticed I was raising my shoulders to sew because my chair was too low. I raised my chair so my elbows were at a right angle to my sewing table , and now I can sew for hours without pain. I noticed your elbows are low when you sew.
I love the look of the optical illusion quilts. Yours turned out great!
❤❤❤ Katie, I'm a member of the angely challenged club. And math is out the window. I love your house. And your kitty. Fur babies makes life so much better. Just like grandkids.
Oh wow Kate! That looks amazing!!
I, too, struggle with keeping thin straps even. Your way is wonderful!
What fun!
This pattern is perfect to showcase these brilliant fabrics! Beautiful job, Kate.
I can't wait to see this one I love the illusion quilts
I'm crazy about the plus sign blocks in progress, just so gorgeous!
Love it!
Beautiful fabric to work with.
Lovely job.
Beautiful quilt!!! The fabric designer, I’m sure, is very glad he sent the fabric to you to use in this quilt! Love watching your channels!!
Everyone's brain works differently, so we all need to adapt and do what works best for us. Donna Jordan of Jordan Fabrics did this a few ago.
I think I’d be tempted to just quilt around the patterned squares which may make them look even more dimensional.
Either that or quilting in the diagonal straight through the edges...
Just beautiful
I am loving the way your quilt has turned out so far. The fabrics just pop right off of the material. I am going to give this pattern a try right after the first of the year. I am busy now making three quilts that need to be done for Christmas presents this year. You have done a wonderful job on your beautiful quilt. I am so glad I found your channel earlier today! Thanks so much for sharing.
I love the "3D" or shadow look! You figured it out right in front of us, which was so special and informative! Well done, so unusual and eye-catching!
That optical illusion is so effective as a quilt pattern.
They really all do pop out it’s lovely ❤
Beautiful!!! I love it! You took out the fear of making one! Thank you Kate🤩
Wow great job kate ❤❤❤❤
Oooooh!!😀
Ahhhhh!!😀
WoweeZowee!!😀
This is a great way to showcase the new designer's fabric!👍👍👍👍
I am so glad to see your new project displayed. I couldn’t for the life of me picture how this was going to look. Oh my word that is gorgeous!!!!!!!
In different fabrics, this could be a cool Minecraft quilt for kids.
Marvelous! Love this!
I think the illusion quilt is the best use of those fabrics! They r all beautiful but they don't relate to each other!❤
I think it’s a great way that you have devised.
I've always wondered how that was done... Thank you Kate for showing and sharing all the details of your process and the result is fantastic!!!
Beautiful ❤
Brilliant quilt and such wonderful new fabric. Thanks to Kate for making and Sam for the designs.
Die quilt is heel mooi. Ook al is die nog niet af. Goed idee om deze zo te maken en alle stoffen te kunnen gebruiken ook al zijn ze heel verschillend.
Echt prachtig Kate.
My husband bought extra long lint rollers that attach to an extendable 5 ft pole to use on our couch & area rugs....We have cats. I also use them whenever there's a lot of thread bits or string to be picked up. Very useful with or without the pole attachment.
Gorgeous!!!
Well done Kate! Wonderful how you used those different patterns and made this quilt really work.❤
That is fabulous - good on you for your innovative way of doing lone strips. Just love it.
Wow! Very beautiful, Kate. You did the fabric justice . I love the way you try to figure out how to make it easier for us to understand. Thank you.
That's absolutely beautiful Kate. Maybe black binding would work on the quilt? 😊
Kate this is a thank you for showing us the quilt you made while watching Mark Knopfler concerts...and the wonderful way it all worked out...going to see him in Newcastle and the fact that he BOUGHT your quilt when he found out the story behind it..
You have reminded me how much I love his lyrics and guitar and all the wonder of his concerts..I am now enjoying them again after many years....OOXX
"Prairie Wedding"
Beautiful!!
That is wonderful!! Thank you for the inspiration! ❤
I found you about 1 week ago and I feel very blessed. You have helped me get my quilting mojo back. I love your down to earth attitude and the way you explain things. I too am mathematically challenged. Your quilt looks amazing!
Woow that so beautiful ❤
It is a great pattern. The apparent random placement of the patterned fabrics adds to the charm of the quilt. Thank you Kate. 🇬🇧
Kate, how did you randomize placement of the blocks?
You are so clever!
Wow. That gray is the absolute perfect shade to achieve your objective!
Very good Kate. I love it. Thank you.
How lovely to have a Kate video today. It is a treat to get a glimpse of your life. You are an inspiration. Great to be on the green couch!
Love this!
Debbi here. I think this is my favorite quilt that you have made. Beautiful!
Beautiful quilt with gorgeous fabric from Free Spirit!! I love, love it. Happy quilting………………………
I love your idea for the shadow and neutral!!
I love it and now you have inspired me to make a quilt like this!
I'm definitely on team "strip piece and cross cut" for the black & gray pieces. For one reason, when you cut skinny pieces WOF, the WOF direction is more stretchy than the other (warp? weft?) along the selvage direction. Cutting wide and then cross cutting as you do, means less stretching & distorting when you're chain piecing. But, I'm sure you know all that! Stunning quilt, really good use of your fabrics.
I think my head would explode trying to work that out!
That quilt was the perfect way to show off that fabric , wonderful.
The fabric is gorgeous, the quilt top is stunning, and your method of construction is brilliant. What a fun video! Thank you!
I couldn’t see exactly how the quilt would look until you pinned it onto your board….then all of a sudden the squares just popped out of the fabric and looked 3D…amazing work Kate ❤
Thanks for introducing me to Sam Wilde's fabrics! A lovely learning by doing process too.
YOU made such a fabulous quilt out of it. 💝🟦🔲🟩🔳💚
Bravo Kate that quilt is stunning!
Oh Kate I absolutely LOVE your Optical Illusion quilt!
It is spectacular!!!
I’ve always wanted to make a quilt like that.
Thank you for inspiring me. You always do. ❤
I love watching you show different quilts and how you do them. I find myself very much more open to quilt designs that I wouldn't dream of doing.. Thank you ❣️ for sharing.
I do love the look of that illusion quilt. Your 2” sashing is just the right proportion to let those fabrics shine. I have several charm packs of fabric lines I really like, which I can use to make it even easier. All I have to do is cut out those strip sets. Your Sam Wilde fabrics are all lovely. Thanks for making this video.
