Stripes...Too Much of a Good Thing!

I 'll have to admit that I love quilts with a little "dissonance". I think this design that I came up with yesterday had just a tad too many stripes.

We'll start with the block:
It sort of looks like something you'd see at an exit on the interstate, right? Not too bad by itself, but not really a pretty block.

Next, I took the block into the Quilt Worktable of EQ and this was the result:


Oh my stars!!! This thing makes me dizzy every time I look at it! I know the contrast of black and white adds to the dizziness of the design but even when I tried other light shades, the effect was the same.

I think I'll put this in the "Quilts That Should Never Be Made" file! :)
