here's a pic of a very popular B&W jane. i think this was so successful because there's print and tons of value throughout the quilt.
if you want to do B&W i would search the web for many pics of this style, find the one that speaks to you, and then try to match the values as best as you can. http://www.flickr.com/photos/cathi/1206600648/ |
here's one of my favorite scrappy jane's done with more contemporary fabrics

i'm doing my Jane in red, white, and indigo
i'm using the Gallery In Red line by Marcus. i think the unique thing about the jane i'm making is not my color selection, americana isn't unique, but its layout. here's a pic of the layout i'm using. |
Thanx Klue, those pics you posted happen to be two of my favorites that I have looked at :mrgreen: they maybe causeing part of the decision making problem. :wink:
Your layout looks great! Have you done any B&W for clients?? do you know of any problem with the loss of color? |
Thats an idea NorBanaquilts :-) :?: Thanx for the offer I will have to decide what I want to do.

Lazy... sure. I just want to make the quilt and not agonize over every fabric. :lol: |
Is there another thread for the one starting in january?
I've been thinking about it, but now I can't find the messages describing what's happening. |

Klue will be starting the thread for the sew along towards the end of october. so don't worry you didn't miss it, I just NEED to decide before the last minute! |
lol
Thanks, thought I was going mad for a minute... again! :-) I have been thinking about doing the blocks scrappy, from bits of other quilts that I've made. So it would be kind of a fabric record of my quilting life. |
