Ebony and Ivory...part 2

When i made Ebony and Ivory



....the pattern from my friend, Mary.....i had lots of fabric left.

So, i used it to make this....Ebony and Ivory part 2


Those are simple 8 inch blocks, 4 inch blocks, and 2 inch blocks


If i were to do this again, i think i would make less large blocks and more medium blocks.


I quilted it with Key Lime Green....you can't even SEE it...since when does key lime blend in with black and white. sheesh!!


So i added a lime green binding.


Since you can't see the quilting on the front....here is a back photo....large blocks


Medium blocks


Small blocks


All blocks quilted the same except added circle swirls in the large blocks. i thought it needed something in the middle. and feathers around the border.


A sort of brownish gray thread for the bobbin. muslin backing. maybe i should have put the key lime in the bobbin, too. it's about 82 x 90".

There was still more of this fabric left....so there is an Ebony and Ivory part 3....still to be quilted.....soon.

Now i have to go play with some I Spy blocks.
