It's Modern Quilt Month here at Quilt Inspiration! We'll be
posting a new modern quilt each weekday... we hope you enjoy our photos!
Today's fun quilt is an optical illusion using cubes.

Hexicube Star by Kris Neifeld
Kris Neifeld's Hexicube Star is based on an original design by Malcolm Neifeld. In this unique design, six cubes are arranged in an overlapping fashion, creating a star in the middle. Kris says, "Malcolm has designed many quilts over the past few years... I had the privilege of constructing this one."
As in tumbling blocks quilts, these hexagons have three faces that range from light to medium to dark values, creating the 3D illusion. For more tumbling blocks variations, please check out our Free Pattern Day for Tumbling Blocks Quilts:
