arrow quilt
 

[ATTACH=CONFIG]353598[/ATTACH]

this is the first quilt that i have finished - from conception to binding! i have more tops and their bottoms, but i will wait to share them until they are complete.

only black and white and white and black fabrics were used. i didn't use anything that came off as gray, even though the photo shows some that do. the border is similar to a "piano key" design, but the "keys" are not even. i used scraps from the quilt for them.

even though i am very proud of my quilt, i realize that their are "issues". the biggest problem is that i need to improve my accuracy in not only cutting but sewing as well. hopefully that will come with time.

this quilt was long-armed machine quilted by lily lucier in eastern north carolina.

Two thumbs up ... color and pattern are terrific together!

l love black and white quilt
nice

Great job!

I really like your black and white quilt! I like the pattern and your fabrics. Isn't it great that even while learning from our beginning pieces we have a product that is beautiful and useful and loved!

Beautifully done. Each quilt is a lesson to us. You are doing good and I can't wait til you show us your next project:)

Very nice, you did a great job. Thanks for sharing.

I LIKE it. GREAT job.

great quilt, black and whites are so nice and go together well

Very nice!

I love black and white quilts and yours is especially nice. Looks like a lot of work but I have never seen that pattern before. Good work, thanks for sharing.

This is a very interesting quilt.
Love your black and white...

Fantastic looking quilt!

Ooooh, I lke it.

more often than not, i make up my own patterns using an idea and graph paper.

Lovely-yes the precision will improve over time-because you gain patience! LOL

Awesome quilt!!

Wow this is so cool with just the white and black prints I thibk the pattern is perfect!

What a wonderful quilt. There are no quilt police on this board, so just sit back and enjoy quilting.

I like your black and white quilt. I have a collection of black and white fabrics that I am just waiting for the right pattern to come along.

Wonderful job. A great tesselation quilt.

It's a beauty. Every one of my quilts shows a step in my learning process:). Look forward to seeing more of your work.

Wonderful quilt, you did very good work.

This is so pretty. You did a fantastic job!

I love your quilt.....make me want to go to my sewing room and get started. Definitely on my "to do list". You did a awesome job!

This is really neat! You are very patient!

What a great quilt! I love the arrow design. It is a very complex design for a first quilt. I think you did a really good job.

i LIKE IT !

It is stunning. I am very experienced with sewing but I still have a 1/8 inch thickness of masking tape marking my seam allowance to guide the edge of my patches. It really helps me. I don't have to pay a lot of attention and get good results.

My cutting issue is that I am shorter and not at a good angle to hold my ruler steady. So I put felt dots on the one side of the ruler I cut on. I put them every inch. No more slipping. I tried many things but the felt dots had the mega holding power that I needed.

Very beautiful! Nothing better than a black and white quilt. Thank you for sharing and keep up the good work.

love it

Well, then I'm even more impressed! This is one fabulous quilt! I can't wait to see more! Kudos!

I sure like the pattern. It is one to remember.

I really love this quilt! I really like a design that I can get lost in:) and this quilt kept directing me to someplace else in the pattern, fabulous! The piano key border was great, too. I struggle with finding the right border and using the leftovers was a great idea. Sorry, I did not notice your errors; I was too many admiring your design. thx

which way do I go, lol that is awesome. thx for sharing, you did a great job

I too have always wanted to make a black & white quilt.
Love, love yours! I see a lot of work there. :eek:

Nice looking quilt!

Great job, congratulations!

Great quilt, phenomenal for a first finish!

Great job, I love it
