Good day, and welcome to my blog. I am visiting my Mom, and she has beautiful iris in her front flower beds.
I looked at the Quilted Twins website, and found the pattern for Shadowpoint - a setting for 25 patch blocks - just what I had!
I sewed black strips to two sides of my blocks, following directions:
Then added background fabric:
OK, maybe I see the optical illusion. Maybe not. More blocks, set in a straight set:
Imagine a light source coming from the upper right, shining on the 25 patches and casting shadows. But the Quilted Twins pattern showed a diagonal set:
Now imagine the light source coming from the top, and casting shadows. This I like, and this is how I will sew these together. If you like this pattern, be sure to buy enough background fabric! Follow the instructions.

Love the use of scraps in blocks like the wshadow boxes. you're doing great!
very nice new project....good scrap buster too
I love that scrappy block! Thanks for sharing the website, gobs of free patterns.
That block really does something special with a simple scrappy 25-patch. Very clever!
that is a cool block - i like the way you have decided to set it
I agree--this looks better on point. Great way to use up those 25 patch blocks you already had! Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.

The shadow makes the blocks stand out, and it's a great idea to have them on the point! I'm going to visit the link, thank you for sharing and linking up!
Great block with the "shadows!" I look forward to seeing the finish. Thanks for sharing with us at Monday Musings.
Love the diagonal setting as the blocks appear to float! What a fun pattern!
