    I use black a lot, solids and tone on tones both. Yes, they are great with brights,




    but they also can have great impact with more subtle colors.

    I just finished my first quilt top with black background and black sashing and I will never do it again. It was very hard for me to see.

    I love to use black in my sashing--makes the blocks stand out so you really see the patterns.
