The biggest problem I've encountered is trying to find a quality black fabric. the fat quarter I purchased was nearly see thru. tossed it in the trash. guess I will have to shop. well, a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do. smile
Buy black Kona cotton. Price is okay, even good compared to my LQS prices and it is not see through. So far I have bought nothing. I have used only stash but mine is quite big after feeding it for 12 years and inheriting my dear Quilty girlfriends when she went to heaven two years ago.
