Convex Illusions is a very easy optical illusion quilt pattern using strip piecing and simple construction techniques. The combination of shapes and shades creates the dramatic 3D optical illusion. This is the same quilt as "Poppin' In", with the center created in reverse. Below are four YouTube videos (intro and parts 1, 2 and 3). There are a total of 10 videos on YouTube for this pattern.

Stunning Design
Since I love bargello, this went together very easily and is similar to bargello. It looks way more complicated than it is. Then I got creative and just did the center, pic 2, as a wall hanging. That took some thinking though. First big one is a window covering. I've done several of the smaller ones for a non-profit organization silent auction and for gifts.

Fun pattern
This is a fun pattern to make. It requires precision to match the seams on the center section. Pin each seam or you may have to take it out! But it is worth the trouble. I found the instructions very detailed and quite clear. I read over things several times to be sure. Before attaching the border, I watched the youtube video - excellent. She makes things very clear, and the results are rewarding.

Perfect illusion
This pattern is so cool! I haven’t made it yet but it’s the next quilt that I’ll make, after I finish the 3 I’m doing. I love the 3-D effect.

Beautiful but instructions could use improvement
Directions are hard to follow and Poorly written. Video helps some but toward the end it got harder. Beautiful once done!

Complicated
Great pattern, but had to read over instructions over several times to get it correct. I’m only about a fourth done.
