Scrap Giveaway

I know what I am going to do for my Black/White/Blue project. I participated in a charity block project recently, Project Improv, and finished my blocks today - it inspired me to use my B/W/Blue fabrics to make these 'wonky' log cabin blocks. Here (above) is the first block I made.

ALSO, I'm hosting a Scrap Saturday giveaway at my blog - please drop by and leave a comment about your favorite art/quilt techniques and share your dream/goal. The winner will get lovely scraps, a book, an ATC, and a wall hanging.

Another piece of inspiration

I had finished the top..

Finally I had finished the top, the first one of my Black & White project.
I think the photo is not good enough. There was a problem with the light so I can't pictured it clearly.

Please forgive me to use a little bit grey for the border (Is it ok, Jackie?)
I've tried not using it, but I feel the pink-BW 'pop out' brightly when I used grey as the border...



Still I have some blocks leftover and plan to make square pillowcases.

Hello and here are some pictures

Black & White (lotsa photos)

There were quite a few black & white quilts to behold at the Mid-Atlantic Quilt Festival last weekend.
While most of them do not add 1 color, you can easily see where a bit of color could have been added to them like on this one:
Do you see the lady?











& then there were these ones that fit the challenge to a "T!"


(If you ignore the border print.)

Dress for Allison and Allison

I have used up the last of the black/white/yellow fabrics. Ok.......I did have to buy a little more for the larger dress.....

Allison and her doll, Allison, have dresses - and purses - that coordinate. Now on to something black and white and some other color!!!!!!!!!!!!

#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.
