I like the block and white. It has many dimensions. At first it is a nine patch and then you see diamond rows and then if you look sideways, it appears to move. I would call this an art quilt and enter it in a show. Really a striking quilt. I think it belongs on a wall.

Good question. I have 6 yards along with 4 yards of solid black that MDD got. she wants me to make curtains to go in front of a bench in her DH workshop to hide the tools.It also doubles as a TV room (big screen) that they use to watch Races and Sports and cook-out and have friends over. Me, I'd vote for just ignoring the tools, but what do I know. Will probably be blind before I finish.
