Black White Quilt


Tonight I had the energy to put the second to last border on my black/white quilt. It is the same as the center pieces. The last border is a b/w with squiggles. It has to have mitered corners to look right and so mom is going to help me put those on Friday night at sit and sew. The b/w is accented with a bright pink and I absolutely love it! Even Paul likes it. I am making it queen sized because we want to get a queen bed when we get married and I want it to fit so we'll use it and not just let it hang on the rack. I've been working on this since March when Kay Capps Cross did a workshop on B/W quilts and how color adds texture. This pattern is called Autumnal Texture. The bottom picture shows the brightness of the pink better!

That is a very neat pattern. I like the way the the white makes a zig zag and that the pink gives it a nice pop :0) Congrats on the engagemant too :0) I have been soooo busy these last couple of months, I have mostly been lurking :0( Oh well, such is life, sometimes :0)
