Using two colors make a flat block, but with the large &#8216;corner&#8217; triangles around each block, the background seems to change. This quilt is especially amazing because it&#8217;s hand pieced &amp; hand quilted. We have several more in various fabric combos and it&#8217;s interesting to note differences.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mkreative.org\/babe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/CarpenterWheelVar1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-376 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mkreative.org\/babe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/CarpenterWheelVar1-220x300.jpg\" alt=\"CarpenterWheelVar1\" width=\"158\" height=\"216\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mkreative.org\/babe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/CarpenterWheelVar1-220x300.jpg 220w, https:\/\/www.mkreative.org\/babe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/CarpenterWheelVar1-751x1024.jpg 751w, https:\/\/www.mkreative.org\/babe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/CarpenterWheelVar1.jpg 1360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 158px) 100vw, 158px\" \/><\/a>This quilt showcases the 3D use of a multi-fabric layout.
