The Quilt Show Puzzle: Ways to Use Guatemalan Stripes
"Natura Florida II" by Priscilla Bianchi

Because of the way they are woven, Guatemalan textiles have a lot of stripes in them. Natura Florida II was created by Priscilla to show off all the ways in which you can cut the stripes, depending on where they are going, to make these very intricate-looking optical illusion designs. The designs themselves were very simple to make, and Priscilla says that it's the fabric that makes the quilt and does the hard work.
