Colorful and color filled quilts are my favorite kinds of quilts. The more fabrics, the more colors equals more fun in my opinion! That’s why when I made my first black and white quilt (to illustrate the concept of contrast) I was certain it was not going to be a fun process, probably even boring. I was so wrong! I loved playing with the black and white fabrics, and mixing scale, prints and styles. I was so intrigued by the combinations and the result was the opposite of boring!
After making that first black and white quilt, I made another and then 3 more. I know I have more black and white quilts in my future because I still have plenty of fabrics to play with, and I’ve already got ideas to explore like gradation, and blending and the list goes on…
If you’ve ever made a black and white quilt, I would love to see it! Check mine out on Pinterest and please use tags #blackandwhitequilt #butterflythreadsquilting on social media to share the joy. Even someone like me who is in love with all the colors of the rainbow can truly appreciate a quilt that has none.
Enjoy every stitch! Diane
