Every time I walked into the studio I moved blocks. That went on all day but I didn't want to sew it until I see it again this morning.
I have a couple quilts in mind for my black and white batiks. It will take awhile to cut them so this will be an all week project. The black and white batiks were really popular in the mid to late 1990s and the majority of these were purchased while I was working at a quilt shop. Lots of them are Princess Mirah batiks. Hoffman came out with black and whites later so they got added to the mix too. For the 2 quilts I have in mind I won't add any color. I'm hoping to come up with a third pattern that could use a mix of color and then I can cut all 3 at the same time.
I’ll wait to see but it looks ready to sew through my eyes :). Looking forward to seeing the B/W and what they become.
ReplyDeleteI like how those weathered diamonds are looking so much!!
ReplyDeletethe B&W fabrics will make quite an interesting piece--I've only ever used B&W as borders...hugs, Julierose
did you have trouble with the black Princess Mirah pieces bleeding? I had a red piece and I had to really tackle that one - it took forever to get it to the point that it didn't bleed
ReplyDeleteThe diamond quilt blocks are so pretty and will make a fabulous quilt! I can't wait to see what you make with all those wonderful B&W prints!
ReplyDeleteI am loving the diamonds! AND I can hardly wait to see what you do with the black and white fabrics!!! Thanks for your blog, I so look forward to it each day.

The diamond blocks have an intriguing watery shimmer! I'll be sure to tune in to see what becomes of the black-and-white batiks.
ReplyDeleteI predict your ‘Weather Report’ looks mighty fine to me too. Couldn’t have created a better design than those diamonds, it really shows off the fabric. And what fun ahead, to create with your containers full black ‘n white pieces.

I love the diamond pattern. The colors remind me of a frosted stained glass window or ice cream. Yummy!
ReplyDeleteI remember buying a few B&W batiks...never did anything with them. Thanks for reminding me just how long ago that was!!!! Can't wait to see what you do with yours!!!!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Nann on this diamond pattern about the "waterery shimmer." It also
ReplyDeletereminds me of my watercolors I sometimes paint with.
I have a black in white quilt lurking around in my quilt room. It made me think
I need to unpile the piles of fabric and see if I can finish mine. I know yours
will be quite lovely. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

Can't wait to see what you do with the black and white batiks! I have a stack of navy and white batiks that I'd love to make something with.
ReplyDeleteI just love black and white prints and have been toying with the idea of making a black and white quilt for a few years now. In fact, I've kept a Pinterest board for black and white quilts to get my creative juices flowing. There's some fun stuff out there!

I love the softness of these blocks. It's going to be a really pretty quilt.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing what design you come up with using this amazing collection of black and white prints!
