Love the color in the middle. It really makes the block stand out. Beautiful quilt ;-) :lol: ;-)

That is absolutely beautiful. I'd be tempted to add another row so I could use it.

GramaLaura 08-15-2011 08:14 AM

So beautiful!!! Love the idea of black and white with pops of color. :-D

Whatever you decide to do, it is beautiful.

I vote for leaving it as a lap quilt. Visitors don't always go into your bedroom and would miss seeing it. As a lap quilt draped over a couch-back or chair, everyone could share the beauty of this quilt!

So cool! Makes me want to go out and buy blacks and whites!

Really gorgeous! I would go bigger!

Every time I see a black and white quilt here, it makes me want to make one. Yours is no exception. It is beautiful. I love the way the colors pop. How nice to trade blocks that way. Make it whatever size you want. It is beautiful either way.

Heather Hayllar 08-15-2011 12:47 PM

I love the way you have put this together.
Gorgeous!

annthreecats 08-15-2011 12:49 PM

Love it. I think it would look great bigger.

red-warrior 08-15-2011 01:27 PM

I think it would look great on a bed and look at all the color options you would have for pillows!

indymta 08-15-2011 02:10 PM

I think the quilt would look fabulous on your bed but if you stopped now and made it a lap quilt more people would probably see and enjoy it somewhere else in your house.

maybe make the fan portion large enough to fit the top of a bed and add plain or simple pieced borders to bring it to the size your wish it to be.

Wow, I love it. B/W fabrics are great in that quilt.

Kayaker26 08-15-2011 04:43 PM

Okay, could I get the particulars for the blocks. It is fantastic.

Dragonfly Nana 08-15-2011 04:45 PM

Very pretty....gives me an idea for something I was challenged to do - Thanks

trolleystation 08-15-2011 04:54 PM

I love it.

Taughtby Grandma 08-15-2011 05:00 PM

Wow, I love the way it's put together. If it was me I would add the next row so I could use it on my bed. Really pretty!

gypsylady5 08-15-2011 05:08 PM

I made the blades using the Dresden fan blade template - 7-1/2".... 5 per block. Blocks were 10-1/2" square using tone on tone white..... The circles were about 3-1/2" cut quarters circles from a 4" square of fabric. I faced the circles with self fabric, clipped and turned the seam. I appliqued all the fans to the white and then appliqued the 1/4 circles on top of the blades. If you want, I can send you the directions for making this block. I can also send you the layout I used from the Fan Book I have. You, of course, can make yours any size you want, this just happened to be the size for our swap.

Lisa Marie 08-15-2011 05:23 PM

Wow, that is really beautiful, interesting pattern too.

sew1 08-15-2011 05:26 PM

Lovely quilt. I vote for bigger.

ksea 08-15-2011 06:15 PM

I love it, I think it would be okay that size or bigger!!

Janquiltz 08-15-2011 06:24 PM

I would make it bed size in some way - adding several borders - black, then white, then white background with smaller black & white/multi-colored centers fans scattered here and there , and finish with a black binding.

nonnie60 08-15-2011 06:49 PM

Beautiful.
