Optical Illusion Needlepoint Detail #36321182
Description
Close up of a needlepoint pillow stitched by Cathy Decker in yellow and purple pearl cotton thread. Geometric patterns such as this one are called bargello. Here an optical illusion is created by using a variation of a nine-patch star or pinwheel quilting pattern shaded to create 3D blocks like those in a traditional baby block needlepoint pattern.
