Tunnel Vision

I started this quilt in the summer of 1999, finished it in January 2000.  It's been folded since we sold our lake house in 2001.  My husband challenged me to make this quilt.  He saw the finished quilt from Patchwork Quilt Tsushin.  Since there was no pattern and the text was all in Japanese,  I had to draft each block individually.  Every single block in the 3-D design is a uniquely different shape.  It took over two months just to design the pattern.
