This quilt measures 27" X 32" and is the result of the "Black & White Plus 10" challenge. All fabric used was to be only black and white with not more than 10% of another color. What fun![ATTACH=CONFIG]546181[/ATTACH]

What did you use for the sky background....is it the fabric I am seeing or the quilting that makes the snow falling? And the plants by the building.....amazing!! This is so simple, and yet so complex!! You are very talented. Thanks so much for sharing.

The sky is fabric. It is a small black and white print. Since I couldn't use gray to depict the cloudy, gray day, I chose the small print to show as gray. I'm so glad you like it!

Mamia.....the sky is quilted with monofilament thread so as not to make the sky either lighter or darker. The sky background is a very small black and white printed fabric! I struggled on how to depict a gray sky!
