So I decided to make a quilt with black and black and white fabric. The question was which one.
I started just using pebble one, far right, because this one had enough amount of both black and white and that pattern looked like make an interesting pattern. Then it looked too much of black on a quilt.
Two middle ones didn’t look right to be used but grass print(it’s actually batik print) had some potential. If it was cut in certain way, it can create light and dark fabric.
I sliced everything from 1.25″ to 2″ and put back together as I wanted.

Wow, Tomomi! This is a masterpiece! The quilting is exceptional, fabulous and so well visible! White on black is very effective! Well done! ( And thank heavens for not having enough white fabric!)

Thanks Ethelda! This is my third mainly black quilt and I was bit fed up with blackness. But white quilting saved my sanity 🙂

I appreciate your sharing the process of this fantastical, beautiful quilt. I find the playful detail mesmerizing. Your quilt is like fine jewelry to adorn a wall or space, with new aspects to be found with every viewing–I keep going back to study it as I’m writing this comment.

Thank you Suzan. These days I really like improv piecing and make up what I like as I go. I probably forgotten to say something came up in mind while making. Sometimes all happens quickly and other times I have too many other things unrelated going. Hopefully I am writing down enough what I thought.
