Very cool quilt!!

matraina 02-21-2012 07:24 AM

Wow, I'm glad you clarified. I thought "Gee the back is beautiful. Wonder why the back is so much more detailed than the front." Now I know. Love your color combination and the quilt.

I got the idea from the Sept/October 2011 issue of Fons and Porter. They have it as a scrappy but knowing my step-daughter likes black and white, I just used 18 different black and white fq's. With having half of each one left over, I used them on the back, figured it was a good use of them. Thanks for looking!!!

Black and white quilts look so classy!

Beautiful quilt. I love the black and whites. Glad she loves it.

The pattern is from Fons and Porter Sept/Oct 2011, called Pick-Up Sticks. They have it as a scrappy. They say cut the blocks 5" then cut in half to make 2 1/2 x 5 rectangles. I just cut 2 1/2" strips and then sewed to white strips if it was wh-on-blk or blk strips if it was blk-on-wh, (I used 9 wh-on-blk and 9 blk-on-wh fq's, then just strip pieced them. It was a quick top to make (it stated easy in the mag, and they were right). Thanks for looking!!!

This pattern is in Fons and Porter, Sept/Oct 2011 issue. They have it as a scrappy. The patter is called "Pick-Up Sticks". OH, and it is rated as "Easy", and I agree with them, had the top done in two days. Thanks for looking!!!

It's a beautiful quilt! I'm glad it is so appreciated!

carolynjo 02-21-2012 08:21 AM

I love the colors and love the fact that she loves it too.

indycatcarol 02-21-2012 08:24 AM

I love black and white quilts and the touch of red really pops. Great job.

butterflies5518 02-21-2012 08:26 AM

Cool quilt - great job!

natalieg 02-21-2012 08:59 AM

Fantastic use of B&W! I am always looking for a good pattern for them, I find many, but then change my mind.

Macie 02-21-2012 09:07 AM

I just love your quilt. My daughter asked me to make her a black white and red quilt but I did not want to put too much red in it. You did a terrific job and Macie here will be a copy cat and make one like this also.

Raine 02-21-2012 09:09 AM

Really nice, I can see why she loves it. I do too!

crafty2 02-21-2012 09:20 AM

G-maBecky 02-21-2012 09:37 AM

pacquilter 02-21-2012 11:51 AM

I really like it! That narrow red border is a great touch.

KimS 02-21-2012 04:52 PM

Beautiful! So glad she loves it. I really like black and white quilts. :)

luce321 02-21-2012 04:55 PM

Very pretty. Black and white is my favorite of just about anything.

nstitches4u 02-21-2012 07:52 PM

Beautiful! Black, white and red---my favorite color combination.

BSKTLOFR-QUILTER 02-21-2012 08:14 PM

The pattern is really nice. The colors are great. I think she loved the fact you made her a quilt first and formost and of course the quilt speaks for itself. Loving gesture and reception. It put a smile in my day.
