so sorry i didn't get back to this thread & post some pix of what i intended--
this is what happens when you work odd hours & sleep for the next couple days!
i think Lori S answered my question, though, lovely log cabin variation--
really enjoyed the "black" quilt show, though.....

I hope you can handle one more black background wall hanging. This is my falling leaves that I made a couple years ago. After it was all done, I realized I should have had more of the "medium" tones in the middle, but I love this pattern. Didn't realize how many black on blacks, white on black, and black on white fabrics there were until I started looking. Thanks for looking. Good luck!

Very pretty!
Isn't it funny how once you're done with a quilt, you start seeing the colors you used in the quilt (and had a hard time finding) EVERYWHERE, now that you don't need them? lol!
