This small blue one is the first I made to try out the basic template sets 1 & 2.
After seeing a program by Louisa at a quilt guild meeting in a neighboring town, I decided to try just 2 fabrics in the strip piecing, like some of hers were.
Do you know how hard it was to just use black and white and not add any color? This is just a top and I haven't figured out borders yet.

I LOVE the black and white top!! I did a black and white lap quilt for a friend's birthday last year and it WAS challenging to work without color. I'll post a picture of it on my blog today...
LOVE the black and white! Working in paint and polymer clay, I find working without color to be extremely challenging and freeing in a way; I spend more time on design and form when I don't have to "worry" about color relationships. Some things are universal in art and design, aren't they?
That black and white is such a winner, but love the blue one too. Being able to discipline yourself to one color or a theme shows your great skill with color (and no color)!
thanks again...
Those are fabulous. I dont know if I could stick to just black & white. Love the circles & the effects they give.
I like the black and white one a lot.
I KNOW how difficult it is to work with only "black and white".
You nailed it - fantastic. KS
Wow. I love the black and white. It's wonderful. I know what you mean, though...I would be tempted to use a bit of red and then the black and white would go out the window.
I took Louisa's Strips and Curves class as well as her one patch plus class, such great fun. I finished the strips and curves but the other is still in a pile of pieces.
