This is for my grandson's 11th birthday. He requested a black and white quilt. I showed him this pattern by toadusew and he really liked it. He helped pick the rest of the colors. I'm very happy with the results and so is he.
This was a very fast pattern to stitch up though I've managed to drag it out for several weeks now. I don't sew for very long periods of time. A few minutes here and a few minutes there.
Anyway, it's another great pattern! Just thought I'd let you all know.

I just love the way this turned out.
One of my grandchildren also has a thing for black & white quilts with a spark of color thrown in...

Thank you for sharing

Oh, that is a great quilt...nice pattern.

sewaholic 04-20-2010 02:24 PM

Fantastic - what a great effect.

pgthom 04-20-2010 02:29 PM

Wow! Love the way the graduated size black prints make "eye movement" in the squares. Almost a 3-D effect. GS will be loving this for years to come! And his "gram" as well. How old is he?

Sorry, went back and reread...he's 11. Same as my oldest GD. I haven't made her a quilt since she was crawling. Makes me feel guilty!!!!

SuzyM 04-20-2010 02:48 PM

That is cool - he will love it

lots2do 04-20-2010 02:55 PM

Oh, I just love it. Don't tell him this but from a distance, parts of it resemble lace.
Was this a bought pattern or a found it free on the internet pattern?
Definitely would like to put it on my to-do list!

Marjpf 04-20-2010 03:02 PM

WOW - love it! Like so many others, where can I find the pattern? And do you rent out your grandson for fabric choices? He has a great sense of color.

Dragonfly Nana 04-20-2010 03:06 PM

Beautiful quilt. Inspiration for our Black/White/Bright swap!

Yvonne 04-20-2010 03:10 PM

Let's see if I can answer some questions here. As mentioned it is a pattern by "toadusew". I don't remember where I bought mine but if you use google you can find the toadusew web site and go from there. They have another pattern that is similar. Check them out. http://www.toadusew.com/

A few years back I realized, like pgthom that my grandchildren were outgrowing their little quilts. The eldest was turning 11 that year so I determined that would be the birthdays that got a new quilt. This is the second grandchild's quilt. Three more to go.

When I asked what colors Kyle wanted for his quilt he told his mom black and white. She laughed and said, "Lots of luck with that!" She had no idea! Kyle's only request was "No flowers!" There are no flowers and yes, it does have a lacy look but we're not telling him! He'll really like it.

I'm glad you all are enjoying see my efforts. Thanks for all the compliments. They do mean a lot. The sandwich is on the table. Who wants to help pin?

Neat quilt - I love the colors.

roseOfsharon 04-20-2010 03:22 PM

I really like that! It's bubbleliscous! I see lots of bubbles when I look at the whole quilt top :)

pollyjvan9 04-20-2010 03:51 PM

Wow, Wow, Wow, I love black and white also. I have to make this quilt! I know he will love it.

mamaw 04-20-2010 04:04 PM

charwhit 04-20-2010 04:56 PM

It is absolutley gorgeous! I defintely will have to put it on my to do list.

susiequilt 04-20-2010 05:11 PM

Great job on that. I did one a while ago but added to it to make it a rectangle instead of square. It's a simple one square pattern but it looks complicated. I didn't use a pattern, just winged it!

canmitch1971 04-20-2010 05:21 PM

Very nice.

barnbum 04-20-2010 05:22 PM
