L7 Black and white

In the spring of the year I made a quilt from Me and My Sister Designs called L7. I had been saving a collection of black and white prints for what seemed the longest time and finally decided this was the pattern for all those pieces of fabric. I must say it was a charm to work on as the pattern is simple to follow and it came together beautifully. The bad news was I had enough blocks that I could have made two KING size quilts. Needless to say in the quest for being thrifty, I put aside the left over blocks and decided that they would be quilts down the road. 

Sadly it took me a while to get the top done with all the other projects that I had on the go, but here she is.  I added a border around it, to pull it all together and I am pleased with how it looks. Please forgive me cause I thought I had taken a photo but when I went through my photos, I realized that I did not take the photo.

Black and White

I had a HUGE pile of black and white scraps that I wanted to get whittled down and use up. I admit that I wanted something quick and speedy and the pattern by Me and My Sister Designs called L7 fit the bill. It was relaxing making this quilt or should I say quilts as I had enough to make two. I added to the initial pattern to make it 52 x 64 before putting on the outside border.

With the leftovers I made a baby quilt, rather than using the bits for the backing. And them after that I found another 11 blocks buried under a pile of fabric beside the sewing table. That will teach me to have six projects on the go at the same time. That said while the quilts uses the same block and some of the same fabrics they look different when compared to one another. Now my biggest problem is to find a place to photograph them all without rain or mud interfering with the crisp white background.

Apologies for not showing the whole quilt but I did not have it totally bound and was running out of time before my flight departed to get a picture done of the quilting.  My personal favorite thing about this quilt is the back, in a black and white chevron minky fabric that I found in the remanent bin at my fabric store.  Got to love that.

I had a HUGE pile of black and white scraps that I wanted to get rid of and use up. I admit that I wanted something quick and speedy and the pattern by Me and My Sister Designs fits the bill. The pattern is called L7. It was relaxing making this quilt or should I say quilts as I had enough to make two. 

 

The first one I made into the larger quilt as depicted on the pattern cover.  I decided on a strong black border with this one that draws the eye into the pieces in the quilt. There are some pretty neat pieces of fabric in this quilt too.  Like little birds, raindrops to name a few. 

The second one is a baby quilt size.  I found some great minky in a chevron pattern of black and white that I will use for the back of this quilt. It will be fabulous.  I'm not sure what I like better the backing fabric or the outer border of diagonal black and white candy cane stripes.  

The final quilt is also a baby quilt using the left over block but this time I used a border fabric that has a bit of red mixed with black and white. I'm thinking that a red minky or flannel will suit this quilt very nicely along with a red solid binding.
