Description:
To achieve the 3-D effect in Scroll Voluptuous, which is the namesake scrolls surrounding the center design, Cara utilized the directionality of striped fabric to play with the eye's ability to distinguish the design, allowing the illusion of the 3-D scroll to be seen even though it isn't realistic. The second "Voluptuous" part of the title comes from the previously mentioned central designs and the voluptuous appliqué that Cara has used to quilt her quilt in there.
