This quilt was started from a jelly roll kit. Two of us bought it with the pattern. I made mine up with a black background, and only a lap size. Chris made hers with muslin, a king size, not done yet. ha My camera either is too dark, or with the flash, washes out the color, but here it is. Chris quilted it, she has a long arm and does all of mine. I really like mine, did two with an Amish feeling this year.

The whole top, laying on my bed, dark sorry.

Here are two more pics. One of the corner, and the other of the neat quilting. Showing a butterfly and a bloom. Chris did a good job, used variegated thread too, shows really well on the black.

The neat quilting.

The pattern for it came with the jelly roll we bought. It is not very difficult, and was fun to do. Almost wish I'd gone for a larger one, but no, this one is just right.

Very Nice!!! I love black background quilts, it makes those bright fabrics really stand out :D :D :D

I just love this quilt! I wish I had the pattern. I really like working with black and batiks, the batiks just pop! Like yours. Beautiful!!

sewjoyce 07-20-2009 07:28 AM

I just bought the pattern from ebay -- it was on sale and with shipping & handling, total was $8.99.
