And... if they don't like churn dash blocks, keep in mind that ANY 9" block they DO like can be substituted. I've done it with other blocks. I've even done 8" stars and surrounded it with a 1" border to make it into a 9" block. Go wild.

Love this quilt....the use of the 2 blocks is so creative!!! I'm like you and don't buy patterns....just play with blocks and designs....sometimes i back myself into a nasty corner that way - but figure it helps keep my brain working. You are obviously a master at it....because this one is truly unique.

Your quilt is beautiful. I think black in the background just unites all of the colors and makes the design of all the scraps so compact. I like white also but think the white pulls the design apart. It is a totally different look. I also like the combination of squares you chose to use together.

Very pretty, I like the way the black sets it off.

I think the black background really makes the blocks pop.

Wonderful quilt. Two common quilt blocks with lots of different fabrics and basic black has brought it together for a very dramatic look.

I love the quilt AND the black background. Wish I could be that creative!!!

What a BEAUTIFUL quilt ! ! ! !

I love black in quilts and in yours is the reason why. Colors pop. Good work.

looking good!!!
