More Black and White Quilts

It's the final day of the Black and White Blog Hop. 


Here are today's participants!


There have been some really fun projects created and I've even added a few to my "To Do" list.  :-)

Yesterday, for a chance to win two charm packs, I asked what color you'd to see me add to my next black and white quilt. It's been fun reading all the answers and quite honestly, I don't think I could go wrong adding any color. There's still time to answer the question and grab a chance at winning. Click HERE to read the post and comment. 

I spent a little time going back through some pictures of my black and white quilts, and I'm kind of surprised at how many I've made. I kind of forgot about a couple of these. That's mostly because they've been given away.  :-) 

Just for fun, here are some pictures of those quilts/projects. 

This is the only one, besides the one I made for this hop that is just black and white. This is a variation of the Crazy 8 pattern and I made it way back in 2008.


This one was fun! It's my version of Mad as a Hatter. I love the little blue frames! I bound this in solid black because I thought adding more blue would be too much. For some reason, I don't have a picture of this finished. I have to correct that. This was made in 2016.


Here are a couple of blocks I made for an block swap a few years ago (2015). These were fun to make and the recipient was quite happy with them.



You can add just a little or a lot of color to a black and white quilt and it always seems to look good. I called this quilt 4 Patch Deception because of the way it was constructions. Hint: I didn't make four patches and sash them with yellow fabric. Can you see Lynn's toes sticking our from under the quilt? I should have had her paint her nails bright yellow or black. :-) 


There is a lot of green in the Diamond quilt, but I love it! I made this in 2011, but I'm looking for the right green fabric to make another one for my son-in-law. He's a tall guy, so I'll be making this much larger. 


Way back in 2010, I made a variation of the Weaver Fever quilt that is predominately black and white. I love the purple and lime green in this. Like the Mad as a Hatter quilt, I don't have a picture of the finished quilt. I still have this quilt and will get a picture when the weather is better. I added a flange type binding that was lime green and black. 


There are a few other black and white quilts that I've made but the pictures are pretty bad. Nevertheless, it seems pretty apparent to me that I love this color combination and I'm sure that I'll be making more.

    How fun, all of your named quilts. Lots of interesting color auditioned with B & W, I love yellow the best. Nicely done!

    I love the Mad as a Hatter due to the pattern. I might be biased due to the color, too. I am intrigued by the hint about the black/white/yellow. I cannot figure out how you made it, if you didn't make four patches and sash. I guess I'm a little slow today. Yellow and blue were my two suggestions for other colors. Wonder why I like them. I was laughing at your saying your SIL is tall. My first husband is (I never know whether to say is or was - I guess I say is since he's still alive - just not in my live) is 6'7". It was difficult to find clothes for him. And he was picky about having his jeans ironed for work in a factory. I learned from my mom after a trip from her to visit us that he was reironing them behind me. I questioned him about that and he said that I couldn't get the legs ironed long enough. I told him that if he was going to iron them any way, he could just iron them from the beginning. That did not go over well.

    I loved these projects, so much fun and definitely more on the modern side, but really cool designs. Thank you for sharing them today.
