Very pretty. I am curious though about the black fabric. How old was the fabric and how did you store the quilt? That is so bizarre that the fabric would disintegrate.

that's a lovely quilt! Sorry that you had so much trouble from the first black.

I really like the bright colors against the black. What a terrible thing for the original black to disintegrate. I wonder what caused it. I'm glad you finished the quilt because it is a beauty.

Stunning quilt! It's gorgeous! It might be big for my bed--but I can live with that

They put so much dye to make the fabric black that it can disintegrate the fabric--I've heard of this before. I prewash black. Kona cottons are nice.

I had a similar experience years ago, however, I don't remember where I bought the fabric, and of course it had to be the very first commissioned quilt. I had done a Roman Stripe pattern,and it was pretty. When my friend told me about the problem, I took it back, hashed and re-hashed how to repair the quilt, when I had an "Ah Ha" moment. I appliqued new black fabric on the blocks that had problems,then quilted over the square, to match the straight line quilting. The question I asked myself time and time again - "Why did it have to happen on my very first commissioned quilt, although after my "fix", he was happy, so that's all that counts.

It's beautiful! Congratulations on the finish.

It is beautiful. I wonder why the fabric would disintegrate. Was it stored for a long time or can you figure out why? Sure would be disappointing, though.
