Black Quilt Finished
Even my family noticed: “You have never used black until now”!
I tried to use colors I know my nephew loves. From me it’s only the green!
I added a little blue to my initial color palette, I felt there is too much orange-yellow-green. Anyway, the blue was the only solid I still had in my stash so it wasn’t difficult to make the choice.
It measures 62” x 86” (155 x 215 cm).
The pattern is the same I used for this quilt, I just modified the size of the patches.
The quilting took a lot of time and a lot of thread. I thought the black fabric requires a little more attention from my part so I quilted double-bubbles/pebbles.
How many times everything goes smoothly with your quilts ? Without any difficulty from start to finish? To me this doesn’t happen often. So this time I was happy that I had cotton batting but the thread kept breaking. I changed it three times! Please don’t ask how it looks on the back!
Love the scrappy and wide binding – my new favorite way to finish a quilt.
I hope my nephew will love it for at least 8 years!I sure love it!
Happy quilting!
It's a wonderful quilt! I love the colors up against the black!
Love, love, love it!
Yeah, the blue looks really great in there. I like using different sizes for the binding, depending on the quilt.
Absolutely awesome and fun!! I use lots of black in my quilts! I love the look!
Your quilting is fantastic!
Love everything about it!
I know what you mean about what it's like when things go wrong.
Frustrating, but love those times everything goes right (occasionally).
I love blacks and bright colours, so really love this one, Fantastic!!
I like the look of this quilt very much.Well done.Wig.
Very neat…I love all the different colors you used and your quilting is really awesome. I'm sure all that pebbling took quite a while. Thanks for sharing.

It's lovely – I hope your nephew appreciates it!
Wonderful quilt and your quilting is so beautiful!
That turned out so nice – I am sure he will love it and especially when he knows you made it just for him.
He will definitely love it!!
It's FABULOUS!! Even though it's done with the black background, it still looks like a Geta quilt.
No matter what you say, I still want to see the back. 😉
Extraordinar! Ai muncit toata saptamana?? A iesit un quilt magistral, indiferent ce crezi tu despre dosul lui. Foarte foarte frumos, imi place mult contrastul dintre negru si culorile vii.
It looks wonderful. I'm sure your nephew will love it. I've never been brave enough to use black but I look at this and think why not!
The black sure makes the colors POP. The quilting looks great. I'm sure he will love it forever.
Hugs, Deborah
