I have acquired a nice collection of black-and-white fabrics. I began this quilt Labor Day weekend and finished it -- quilted and bound -- this evening!! (I took advantage of three free evenings this past week.) Though most of my quilts use many more different fabrics, this design would not be as effective with more than the six that it has. The backing is red/white/black print that I bought in tremendous quantity in the Red Tag section of JoAnn's a couple of years ago. (Can't beat good quality when it's just $1/yard!) My Magpie friends provided advice for the border which is a flap of white-on-white, then black-on-black, and the wider red. The finished size is 89 x89. I don't know its destination.
WOW! I have a wedding gift to make for a dear friend who loves these colors. Even the wedding invitation was red, white, and black. I now know what I want to make! THANKS!!!

ReplyDeleteVery nice, Nann, very nice! The final recipient (it's a raffle quilt, right?) will be a very lucky person. Let us know if we can buy tickets! :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the quilt! It's very graphic looking and just the right amount of red to give it kick.
ReplyDeleteOnce again, I am so not worthy...
Wow it is beautiful. And you are so quick.
ReplyDeleteI just love black/white/red quilts and this one is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your finish!! Lovely quilt - very graphic with the red on black/white. Would suit a contemporary man or couple very nicely I think :)
