Thanks Lori, I don’t have a lot of 2.5” strips stash but could use my 2.5” square stash and save the strips for the 6” pieces. I think this would be a great project to practice free motion quilting too. As a newer quilter, this is a great pattern to practice with. Thank you, really enjoy your videos.
Thank you for sharing this quilt block. I have a ton of 2 1/2 inch strips that I need to use up! I didn't see a link for the mystery quilt registration though.
Thank you so much for the heads up on that! I got interrupted when I was uploading the video & all of the links didn’t get pasted in! When I get back to the house this eve, I will add all the links that should be in the description box!! Check back in an hour or so!! Thanks so much! Lori
I’m definitely making this pattern after I get done with my other 2 projects. I’m ordering your book set next paycheck. I’m very excited to make ALL that you’ve been showing us!
Illusions is a great pattern, isn't it? And SO easy to make! I'm so excited that you'll be making the quilts in my Speedy Solutions books! I know you'll enjoy them all! Happy Quilting! Lori
@@quiltingwithlori I have a large family and the ladies (just a small group) will be going away in September for a short girls weekend. I hope to make each person attending a quilt for memories. I appreciate you teaching your book as I do okay with a written pattern but I’m very much the visual learner and it helps more than you know to see it “in action”
What a great Idea. And I like easy. Can you take each square (1 of each color) and put them right sides together - mark a diagonal line and then sew 1/4 " on each side - like making a 1/2 sq triangle to get the same results?
Karen, sadly international shipping costs for just the two books is much more than the cost of the books themselves! The last time I checked, the cost for shipping there was over $60 (USA $)! That is simply ridiculously expensive; hence, I placed the books out on Kindle/Amazon for my customers!! I do know what you mean about having the actual book in hand...nothing like it really! If you have any ideas on how I can get my books in the English market, I'm open to them!! (Maybe next year I need to visit my niece in Lancashire and bring a box of books with me!! LOL!!
Jolynnsholmire2785, would you take a pic of your chevron scraps and post it out on my Facebook group page so I can study what you have... it will be easier for me to come up with a pattern if I can see exactly what you are working with... Link to my Facebook group page is: facebook.com/groups/545266290816833/ Thanks so much!! Lori
Thank you Lori.
I just started the Illusions quilt today! I love this pattern!
Fantastic!

Thanks so much, Paula!
Ingenious! This looks so complicated but it really is quite simple. Thank you for more inspiration!
So glad this inspired you, Sue! Happy Quilting!
I think this is my most favorite of your blocks and videos, yet! Great instructions, and easy block, yet it looks so complicated! Thanks!
So glad you like this block/quilt! It is a fun one for sure!!!
I have both of your books and love using my scraps!!

Yes, I think I get what you're saying and you could do that as well! There is ALWAYS more than one way to piece a block! It's fun to try, isn't it?
Nice job. Love how this turned out. Thank you.
❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉.
Hi Lori I have lots of 2,5 inch strips , but not matching fabric , can that pattern be made with all different fabric? Thanks
Absolutely! I think the scrappier the better! Just ensure you have the contrast needed within each block! It will result in a beautiful quilt!
Hi I was wondering will you be thinking of posting your books out to UK at any time. I'd prefer books. How much would the postage be 😊

I have a lot of Chevron scraps in different colors. I'm looking for a pattern to use them up do you have any ideas?
Ah!! Let me think on that… sounds like it’d be a fun quilt.
