Great job. I've been collecting black and white fabrics for sometime and at a retreat in July began making blocks just like yours, we even have some of the same fabrics. I put some of the blocks together as a baby quilt. Have many more blocks and lots of black and white fabrics and hope to make a larger quilt for DGD's new condo. May in Jersey

I traced plates and saucers onto freezer paper, cut them out, quilted around them with some pretty variegated thread, then repositioned the paper. Lather, rinse, repeat....
BTW, it really isn't as 'ruffly' around the edges as it looks! :-)

I thought about doing colored blocks as you did, but I was trying to keep to a strictly B/W theme (with just a few little bitty color bits for fun). I had the whole quilt+black table+white baskets thing in my head and finally got it out.
I don't know about you, but I've still got enough B/W pairs for at least 2 more quilts! :lol:

Thanks Quiltin Lady. I surprised myself by using more yellow in the baby quilt. The quilt I'll make for DGD will be more like yours with little bits of color here and there as her condo is furnished with very modern furniture. Loved your idea for quilting by tracing around a plate and using colored threads, adds a lot to the quilt. May in Jersey

I couldn't remember off hand how big it was, so I just measured: 6" squares, 36" wide x 48" high. Great project for a favorite jelly roll. :idea:
