My photos don't do justice to this patchwork of black and white. It's hard work at the best of times to photograph white on white, but even more so on a day like today - a dark, wet, and somber Melbourne day. A typical Melbourne scenario: a glimpse of Spring, even Summer earlier this week, followed by a return to Winter today.
This quilt top is was complete, but on reflection I think it needs a border. Perhaps a pieced border.
More soon.
I really love it! You seem to have cornered the text fabrics! I have a black, white and red quilt up on my design wall but it is much darker.
ReplyDeleteBlack & white never looked better, Rita! And I love that Heart print! I think you're photos are gorgeous -- as usual!
ReplyDeleteBack & white & read all over, as the old joke goes. This piece is no joke fabulous, though. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI love it, too! It's such a happy piece!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, bold work. Can't wait to see your ideas about the border...
ReplyDeleteWOW, LOVE all those fabrics together, looking forward to the finished quilt

ReplyDeletethis is so cool! Love the pop of red in each block. Can't wait to see the finished quilt.
ReplyDeleteI love this one Rita, esp the pops of red. Gorgeous. xo
ReplyDeleteAnother wonderful top. I love how you used all these fabrics. I have some of those hearts and have wondered just how to use them to show them off without losing them in the process. This is perfect.
ReplyDeleteThis will be a wonderful quilt! I love the play of black and white with the persimmon. And your use of text fabrics is perfection. Love it.
ReplyDeleteWow - this is gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteLove it! I think a red with white dot for the border would be perfect with "our" favorite black and white striped binding!
ReplyDeletewow! Rita, you think of such amazing color combos for quilts. This looks so cool.
ReplyDeleteRita, you're always surprising us!!!
ReplyDeleteOhhhh, I can't wait to see this one Rita. I just love the black and white and the pop of red.

ReplyDeleteI love the simple colours here - black and white with a shot of red - it looks great!
ReplyDeleteLooks beautiful! Can't wait to see the whole quilt completed!
ReplyDeleteYou really inspire me!
ReplyDeleteI stumbled across your blog a few days ago, and since then I've spent a LOT of time trawling through your previous posts and admiring your beautiful quilts (and yarn skills too!) - I am in awe! I love your quilting style so much and your colour choices are just beautiful - AND you're a left hander like me too!
ReplyDeleteLove it. Have you considered black and white stripes for the binding with red piping?
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see this one. (I think I say that every time.)
ReplyDeleteIt's always a happy surprise to see your next project. Thanks for all the inspiration.

ReplyDeleteI love love the fabric and the quilt top!
ReplyDeleteGreat looking quilt - I have a large soft spot for black and white with hint of red and text too!!! How about trying ticking for binding the edge or backing?
