It's anti-aliased!

That's incredible. Is it what I think it is?

:O
I'd never heard of that, but having glanced at the wikipedia page for it, I see what you mean. That's a thing that log-cabin quilts do of necessity, have a center square that doesn't line up with the diagonal lines. Traditionally, that would have been a contrasting color, usually bright red for some reason:

But in my design I wanted to see if I could trick the eye by using something halfway in between the black and the light blue.

so, you independently invented anti-aliasing. That's exactly what it's for! B-)

That is indeed what you think it is. :-) It measures about 84x96" at the moment; the next step will be to add a border to bring it up to its full dimensions, and then it gets its backing and batting and can be quilted. That'll happen after I show the unfinished top at Arlington Open Studios this weekend.

That's awesome and geeky. Thanks for the graphic-design lesson! :)

Again, I am impressed and very glad that we gave you free reign on the design. I like it and so does ahf.
