This is great - love the black & white and the humor... from the label to the numbers

Your quilt is really awesome! I always love b/w and a touch of red, but this really appeals to me. Don't know what the Cotton Theory method is, guess I'd better 'google' it.

QAYG Method

Yours are much more part of the design and look bigger than that. Could you explain how you managed such a BIG strip inbetween each section. I guess you'd have to start out with bigger strips to begin with and then start sewing further over..... instead of a 1/4 inch seam, maybe 1/2 or 3/4? Then how big are the strips?

Dolly,

I used Cotton Theory when I made this quilt. The long B&W pattern sashings are joined to the large white rows with Cotton Theory seams called "One Way Highway." The B&W sashings are 3 1/2" wide (raw) and the Cotton Theory takes up 1" for either side to make the seam, so the finished B&W sashing is 1 1/2" wide. In Cotton Theory, the joining row -- the B&W sashing -- is folded back on itself to make a decorative part of the seam. I really like the look! I'm a novice and my work doesn't compare to others who have more experience, but I love to practice.

I'm not generally a fan of B & W quilts either, but this one is wonderful.. such a nice pattern for all those patterns.. It made up beautifully! Good job.
