Megan M. Ellinger wanted to play with optical blending. She selected six main colors and blended them with 15 shapes of white, gray, and black to create an ombré effect using only the solid colors pieced in 2,160 individual 1/8" stripes. Wait until you see Shade Study.

Shade Study won Second PlaceQuilting Challenge, sponsored by American Patchwork & Quilting, at QuiltCon 2020.

This is beautiful, and such painstaking work--I'm impressed.My personal "maximum frustration level" is one & a half inch strips or squares.

Neat quilt! Not sure I would have the patience to work with so many narrow pieces. Interesting effect, though.
