As a wonderfully wise quilter on the doll quilt swap said, what you make is who you are at the moment. I am usually very undisciplined in my quilting. Those who are kind call it "arty" or creative. In the aftermath of evacuating for Hurricane Irene, I decided to declutter and simplify my life. I have a long way to go, but my decision to make this little quilt for the September swap does reflect that sentiment. Suffice it to say, my seam ripper got a good work out and I had to look at binding tutorials more than once. But ... ta dah ... it's done! And it was fun.

Very nice. Glad you made it through okay.

Very nicely done and I love the quilting you did:)

Very Nice!

Krystna, it is wonderful! I have some of those same fabrics, being a black and white junkie!

You did a great job, your partner will love it.

Lovely, indeed!

Very nice!!! Very "controlled"!! :lol:

Great quilt! Love the color combination!

I've been looking at this block for awhile and have been collecting some black/white/and reds for awhile...thanks for the inspiration...this is beautiful!!

Very nice -- a great rendition of the black and white.

Very nice!

Great on the quilt...that sure doesn't look like a 10 minute block...I need to find the tutorial on that... like your colors too!!!!

Looks wonderful, I plan to try one when I finish my commissioned piece.

Very pretty

Yup. It is indeed a 10 minute block with the edges pinched back to fake a Cathedral Window. The colors were for this month's doll quilt swap - black and white with a splash of color.

I am sooooo proud of myself, hahaha.

Beautiful! Love the black & white.

Cool! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Very pretty!

Well done. Love it with the sashing, really makes the centers pop.

You must have been feeling beautiful at the time, because your quilt definitely is.

What size squares did you use?

4" and then I trimmed the blocks since nothing I make is ever quite even! :oops:

It's beautiful, Krystyna.

It's beautiful!

I love it ! One of the best ten minute blocks I have seen. I just bought some blk and white fat quarters. My daughter likes purlpe. I see a vision.

Such a nice job you did, and it is so pretty. I love those colors together.

Kimberly, be sure to show us how it turns out!

Very nice!!!

Very nice. I like this one a lot.

nice

Your artistic, creative side shows in your placement of fabric. Way to go girl!!

lovely quilt, i love black and white quilts

Great little quilt!! Looks difficult enough to use a seam ripper a couple of times!

very well done! now aren't you glad you have a seam ripper?! lol

Love how it came out!

Looks great and indeed they are fun and fast.

This is a wonderful 10 minute block! Love the colors! Well done!

Very nice. Out of curiosity, did you prewash your red to check for bleading?

Nope. It's for a doll quilt swap, so I didn't think it was necessary.

Thanks for the quick responce and for the advice. Take care.
