Previous black and white quilts.............


I have made a few black and white quilts/quilt tops in the past.  This Trip Around the World is all batiks.









This Strips and Curves is made with regular quilting cottons.  Some of the pieces are cut out of strip piecing made with 1" finished strips.







I started out with a Maple Island pattern for this quilt but didn't do the border like the pattern.

I have a love/hate relationship with all black and white quilts and that is because I love color so much.

I have figured out 3 quilts that I'm going to cut from the black and white batiks I showed yesterday.  A fourth one will be cut too as soon as I decide on a pattern and it will have color added.

    Your Strips and Curves quilt is stunning! I can’t recall ever making a completely b&w quilt but they can be very striking as seen here by the queen of color ;-)

    I also think the strips and curves is just lovely!! It is difficult to limit to just B&W as the colors these days are so enticing!:)))

    That's a Maple Island pattern I don't have. Took me a while to figure out what was going on. Strips and Curves is spectacular!

    It makes me laugh to see your black and white quilts as you are the queen of color. I have made some black and whites, but I have to insert colors. Great quilts!

    I've collected some black and white fabrics but never had the courage to make a totally black and white quilt. It will be fun watching your process.

    All three are so beautiful; Strips and curves is my favorite. I need to get my B&W quilt back out and get it quilted. There never seems to be enough time in a day!

    Your Black ‘n Whites are fun to look at; each pattern is so intriguing. Looking forward to see yet more intricate patterns you will be creating.

    I love your B&W quilts! The second one is especially stunning, and I think it belongs in a museum. All the different fabrics and strong contrasts make it very intriguing - a work of modern art.

    I'm with you on two color quilts (black and white or blue and white or even blue and yellow). I always end up wanting to add something else to the mix no matter how scrappy the project. Good luck with the ones you are planning now (and I love that you are including one with color added).
