The black gives this a "stained glass" look. Nice.

Weasier22, I have this quilt on my bucket list, hoping it comes out as gorgeous as yours did! Great choice of colors as well as the bulk smashing. My question is about your design wall....it looks portable which is exactly what I need now that I've recently had to redo my entire sewing room, with NO ROOM for a permanent design wall. Could you share your plans for your wall?
Thanks in advance for any help you can be of.
