In Black and White
I've developed a sudden and very serious obsession overnight. I must have a black and white quilt. Now I have to decide what exactly it should look like. Yikes. I think is what happens when I have too much free time on my hands.

Oh, I wish I had a picture of the quilt my mother made my sister several years ago. It has a white background and the blocks are that tree that has so many triangles -- it's a pieced block. Mom made it before there was such a wonderful variety of black and white prints. Each tree is made from a different B&W print. I think there are about 12 tree block (maybe 20) on the whole quilt. Whenever we're in a quilt shop by the B&W fabrics, she always says "Boy, I wish I had had so many B&W choices when I made that tree quilt." She spent several years collecting the prints. She put three tiny triangles of red in the whole quilt -- otherwise it was all black and white. Very stunning! I'm sure I'll blog about it someday.
Oh, you should blog about it sometime. I would be interested in seeing it. Wow - years collecting prints!
I spent a little time dinking around today looking for black and white quilts for ideas but didn't find much. I think it would be interesting, though. I can't decide if I want to go for a traditional pattern or something more modern, prints or solid black. Hmmm...
