    all black velvet paintings are made on black (velvet) so I say, you can put any colors on black

    This is mine almost finished for DS - the black binding on black background is patience testing. It began as Summer in the Park and quickly took on a life of its own.

    Quilting Grandma, that is one beautiful quilt, too. Oh, my. I hadn't even considered black. My wanna-make list is getting mighty long!

    Peckish - may I ask what the pattern is for the first quilt you showed a picture of? I have seen that pattern before, but just can't remember the name of it. I love your quilts by the way. Nice work! But then I love using black as a background fab., black makes all colors seem to pop.

    I loved seeing everyone's quilts. I also like the dramatic affect achieved by using black.

    Peckish, your quilts are beautiful! I especially love the first one, with that little multicolor strip at the edge between the black and the bright. Wow! I, too, would sure like to know what pattern this is. Thanks for posting your pics!

    Thank you! The first one is a Drunkard's Path variation, and I actually wrote a tutorial for it. It is REALLY easy - there is no curved piecing. You can find the tutorial here:
