While I love the drama that black fabric brings to a quilt, I've been avoiding it for a couple of reasons:
1. black typically fades fast and badly-- i.e., you don't knowif you'll end up with a red-black, a green-black or a charcoal-black, etc...
2. black is a magnet for dust and pet hair and sewing thread and anything else that happens to be around.
What are your experiences and thoughts about the best use and care of black-based quilts?
