Just thought I'd share the new top I just finished. I haven't quilted it yet. I know a lot of people aren't crazy about black backgrounds, but I use it a lot with these multiple fabric quilts.

I love black in a quilt and yours is really pretty. Did you have a pattern or did you design it yourself? Thanks for sharing.

susie337 06-22-2014 07:19 AM

I'm with you, Madan. I love the black with scrappy fabrics! It sets them off so nicely.

MsPat 06-22-2014 07:25 AM

Love the lay out, beautiful use of scraps.

PamS 06-22-2014 07:27 AM

I very seldom use anyone else's patterns. I design patterns myself, so I have a VERY bad habit of "messing about" with other people's patterns when I purchase them, and that doesn't seem quite fair to them, so now I mostly just do my own thing to start with. LOL! Anyway, in this case it's just two old traditional blocks put together, so no real pattern was required anyway. It was more a case of color choice and placement.

I use black in many of my quilts. I love how you used these blocks to create a very unique and beautiful quilt. Thanks you for sharing.

i LOVE the black background. very nice pattern

redquilter 06-22-2014 08:35 AM

Never saw these two combined. It's a great combo. You've created a beautiful quilt. I think with all those lively colors, black was the only way to go. It sets them off beautifully.

SheriR 06-22-2014 08:39 AM

This is beautiful.

peacefulquilting 06-22-2014 08:57 AM

I love the two patterns together. The black makes the colors pop. Nice quilt!

Quilter 65 06-22-2014 10:46 AM

I think the black works great especially with lots of bright colors. Sets them off so well.

Lady Jane 06-22-2014 11:39 AM

That turned out beautiful.

QM 06-22-2014 11:55 AM

Anoka Quilter 06-22-2014 12:00 PM

What a great quilt. I like black and use it a lot in my quilts.

tessagin 06-22-2014 12:09 PM

Love your quilt. I love the way black makes colors pop and float off quilt/illusion effect.

PaperPrincess 06-22-2014 12:16 PM

I don't think I've seen anything quite like this design! I LOVE it!!!

kamaiarigby 06-22-2014 12:24 PM

Love your quilt, I like to put black with my scrappys I have studied your quilt but can not work out how you have made it

It's SUCH a simple quilt in reality. I love that it looks more complicated than it is. That kind of quilt is my specialty! ;) It's a bunch of 9" log cabin blocks, and a bunch of 9" churn dash blocks. Lay them out on your design wall and play with them until they make the arrangement you want. (In my case it's a design FLOOR, because I didn't have room for a design wall. LOL!) You all have my written permission to copy the photo and make a blatant copy of the quilt if you like. Won't hurt my feelings in any way. :D

Daylesewblessed 06-22-2014 02:41 PM

I like the effect that black has on many quilts and wish my eyes were better. I do use it, and each time I tell myself that I shouldn't be taxing my eyes so much.

serenitybygrace 06-22-2014 02:49 PM

Wonderful quilt. The two patterns put together as well as the black and the colors make the quilt very striking.

Grandma Peg 06-22-2014 02:54 PM

Very pretty quilt. Love the black, to me it is very elegant looking.

sewdarnbusy 06-22-2014 03:06 PM

I love it... very creative.

Very striking! Love how the colors pop against the black.
