The pattern is from Crab-apple hill. Thanks everyone. I have to just say, please when making this quilt use a thread that stands out amoung the fabric. I seen one done at a quilt show and stunning blues, but the gal used a very light blue floss and it really got lost. Her quilt was gorgeous.

Thank you, I have a hope chest that has a fabric top, I put the fabric down over the fabric and than I put my ott light over it and it shows up really well.

You did a great job on your quilt, I have never tried a black and white quilt before. Thank you for sharing your quilt with us. That is why I love the quilting board, because you see things on here you would not have thought of doing.

Thank you, I so agree, everyone is so help full on this board, and some awesome ideals as well. My son picked the black/white combo, he seen the pattern and loved the quilt, he said " I want this quillt only in black/white. Him & his girlfriend are now expecting there first baby, Grammie again. I will enter the quilt in the fair this year. I had put some quilts in last year and so pleased that I won some ribbons.

I did buy the EZ transfer, but am hesitant to get started. Your black/white quilt is beautiful and I like the snowflake quilting design. Have seen a lot of b/w quilts here lately and love them. Thanks for sharing.
