Am linking today to Design Wall Monday at Patchwork Times. I've managed to get a bit more accomplished on Night & Day, and it is currently on my design wall. Now I'm able to see how the stars "float" when the blocks are put together. I'm set on doing the black border, and I've just about decided to add white piping between the blocks and borders. I think I'll use the black & white print fabric for the binding. The finished quilt will be 3x4 blocks so it will be a large lap-size quilt - I'm guessing about 48" x 60". The tempation to add a bit of red is so strong but I'm trying to resist and just keep to the black & white. Working on all 8 block sections "assembly-line-style" has made it much easier but each block still takes 1.5 - 2 hours to complete.
In the meantime, I went to the Triangles class on Saturday and learned so much. I made a tablerunner which will be a Bunco prize when I host Bunco in October. The class was held at Cotton Fields and we had 8 students so it was a very full class but lots of fun. This tablerunner is around 3.5 feet long so it is a good size.
Very pretty quilt and wonderful tablerunner. Black and white always seem to call for red. Maybe change the white piping to red piping.
ReplyDeleteThe black and white is stunning!
ReplyDeleteI really do love night/day. Its such a pretty block - the complexity is really gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWow! I liked the block last week, but this week they are so dramatic! Very nice.

I've never made a b&w quilt. Yhis makes me want to. Very pretty! I love the runner also! XO
ReplyDeleteYou know, I've always been a "you-can't-have-too-many-colors-in-one-quilt" type of a gal but I really am enjoying this black & white piece. I'm also making a yellow/white piece (more on that in future posts), and just finished my part on a red & white quilt. So I'm learning that fewer colors in a quilt can also be beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love black and white quilts and really like your a lot. I will be looking forward to future progress photos.
ReplyDeleteI could only dream of being able to be that exact with the points of your balck and white!!! So eye catching!
