Feverish

Introducing Feverish, my black and white and rainbow lap quilt (I know, it doesn't technically meet the "one color" part of the challenge, but the blacks and whites are such a key element, I couldn't resist sharing).

More photos of the quilt on my blog tomorrow.

Winter Pines

This is a top I made called Winter Pines from the book Black and White Quilts By Design by Kay Capps Cross.

I used a very bright red/orange fabric for my accent color. I think it turned out great!


More about the quilt and a giveaway of the leftovers at my blog.

#2 down

I finished my 2nd black and white challenge piece. It's just shy of 15" square and is paper pieced (block: attraction block). I machined quilted a few random lines using variegated pink thread. I really like the way it came out and hope my swap partner likes it as well (shh, hope she does not check this blog). I did not want the binding to take away from the block so this was put together like a quilt sandwich and quilted afterwards.

Here is the finished product. The more I look at it the more I like it. This project was all about new techniques for me....couching, random stiching/quilting and even the way I put the binding on (I strayed from my normal way and mixed it up a bit - don't mind the results but will need more practice before I try it on a quilt). Blogged about it here.

Hey Jackie!

Made another pillowcase for you,

that brings the total to nine.

First Project Completed

Here's my first Black and White Challenge Project completed.

It's a wallet to hold your sewing paraphernalia.

I chose a hot pink batik for my accent color and the musical fabric with my college daughter in mind. She plays the violin. Maybe this will prompt her to learn to sew on her own buttons!
