Default my version of a sampler

I made this from some left over batik fabric from another quilt, I love how black and bold colours contrast, I used a different quilting technique on each set of blocks, and found some lovely black and purple batik when I visitied Florida recently. Again quilted on my trusty Janome thanks for looking.

I also like the contrast black gives to a quilt. Your version is wonderful. So pretty!

Black solid fabric can really make other fabrics sing. Great quilt you made with leftovers !!

I love that look! The batiks really pop on the black - good idea.
