I have found that a lot of people say they hate black . Won't use it in a quilt or anything else . Well I beg to differ , I agree with Loretta. It makes your colors pop !!! If you nonblack lovers don't think so just hold black up to some bright colors and see what happens . I am the opposite , I don't care much for white . It just seems to me that it is dead looking ! Yuck ! I hope I didn't offend anybody :roll:
