I love, love black in a quilt. This one sings. I believe that lovely thing could use some 'bling'; charms, buttons, tied with bows, tufted with little tassels or pom-pons. It's gorgeous, oh, maybe beads. Tied or tufted with beads on the front and the ties on the back.

I have a queen size quilt my Granny made me. I have had it for 20yrs and it has been well used and washed many many times. Last year it finally started showing SOME wear in a few places, I have patched it and continue to use it. Right now it's on my bed and spends a lot of time there in the winter as well. Poly blends hold up well just don't iron them on a cotton setting LOL they melt.

Pretty, pretty quilt.

Several people suggested that. It would require 10 buttons on each side, which in finding the perfect ones might cost as much as the fabric... I will revisit the quilt and see about a circle, or off-kilter lines, or whatever occurs to me.

Now that hadn't occurred to me. I do have about 6 million beads of various kinds...

Beautiful quilt! Nice job! :)

I would just tack it with black in the black areas sort of Jane Sasseman style.

I ended up tacking it in the center of each square with black embroidery thread. A sister-in-law visited while I was working on this and loved it so much it went home with her. Thanks for your inputs.
