How funny, I'm planning a king size black, red and white quilt for my own bed! I bought pretty much the whole line of the "After Dark" fabric collection from Connecting Threads just the other day, just for it! (actually, it IS the whole line, cause I got the FQ bundle with all of them, plus extra yardage of the ones I liked best) AND I am also planning to QAYG, the same way you did!
I am REALLY looking forward to seeing your finished project, I've been looking for inspiration!
