I have recently decided that I love black and white quilts. They always seem to look crisp and clean. I got to quilt one last month that the has dalmation print Minkie as the backing fabric. Boy does Minkie shed. I must have lint brushed that quilt 40 times to try to get the fibers off the front. I like the weight that they Minkee gives the quilt. The texture is just makes you want to cuddle with it.
I liked the border treatment that I did on this quilt. It kind of looks like the fiddle head scroll on a violin. It is hard to see the block quilting, even in person. You can see it on the back of the quilt because Minkee gets a sculpted look when it is quilted. While you can't see the quilt pattern in my picture, it is College Bound by Anything But Boring. Janice does a terrific job designing her patterns. I did not even recognize the pattern at first because it looks so different made out of black and white.
