They are all awesome pegie.

Oh wow, such beautiful quilts!

This is wonderful! Congrats!

what beautiful quilts.

I love black background's

I've made some with Black in the background, I love black in my quilts..

Nice... I like that! What's the name of the quilt pattern? I'd love to get a hold of that pattern! Did you do the quilting yourself? Gorgeous quilting!

Peckish... I love the first one!! Great colours...

Here’s a flying geese quilt I made with a black background http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-96367-1.htm

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

sorry about the double

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.

Peckish, those quilts are stunners!!!!!!!!!

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.

Me too!! Sold this one though.

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:

Love, love, love them. Black & brights always work for me.

love this!!!

Go to The Quilters Cache and they have a pattern called,Tilting 4 patch. Use 4 different materials for the 4 patch and then another for the two sides. I would use a black w/white background for the two sides.

LOVE that 2nd one especially. Is it paper pieced! WOW!

WOW what beautiful quilts.

This is a great thread for ideas. Kathy: great pattern for donation quilts.

Thanks so much for giving the name of the pattern and also for the tute. I have marked it for my way down the bucket list of to dos. Gerbie

Here's mine, it's next on my piecing list. I got the idea off a quilt I saw here on the board but I've never been able to find it again.

Here is my quilt on a black background - still in progress. I need to quilt around the border and add the binding to it.

We have also collected a group of fabrics with bright colors on black background. We thought they would make a great quilt, but haven't really figured out how, so we're in the same shape you are. We were able to finish a solid black background quilt. If you get any ideas, would you mind PMing me? I hate that these fabrics are just sitting here.

Here is my latest. D9Patch set on point.

Absolutely gorgeous! Is there a specific pattern for this? I'de love to make one.

There is a new fall leaf swap on the QB with black background. It is found here:

Yes here is the pattern, it's called Jewel Box - A Disappearing Nine Patch Diagonal Sew Quilt. You can find it at www.anythingbutboring.com by Janice Pope. Let me know if you can't find it. My dealer carries the pattern.

I forgot to tell you that I added the 2 1/2" colored squares and also a 5" black border. I just thought it needed something else. I'm bad about having to add "my touch".

Here is a closeup so you can see that I quilted it with a Rainbow color of thread

Ghostrider, absolutely love your optical illusion quilts just gorgeous. I was wondering if the first one is a pattern or something you created? Would you mind sharing the name of the pattern or the source it absolutely must go on my bucket list. Thanks

They are both original designs. So glad you like them. :D

Hi Gerbie, I love this one. Great color selections.

Everyone's quilts are so beautiful. I think I will hit my stash and try this! Thanks for sharing.........
