Modern Appliqué Illusions: 12 Quilts Create Perspective & Depth

The award-winning quilter and appliqué designer brings fine art principles to 12 stunning quilts in this surprisingly simple step-by-step guide.

Casey York pushes creative boundaries in the quilting world with her graphic, contemporary designs and patterns. In Modern Appliqué Illusions, she combines easy quilting methods with the fine art secrets of depth and perspective to create modern quilted optical illusions. Though these sophisticated look like museum pieces, they are designed for everyday use.

In Modern Appliqué Illusions, you will learn 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.
