Black and white blog hop

Hi,

Thanks for joining me today for my day on the Black and white blog hop.  My quilt has some red in it, just for fun.   I want to thank Carla at www.createinthesticks.blogspot.com for hosting this blog hop. 



I am sad to say I didn't get it totally completed, although I tried.  I have had some crazy work hours and am still trying to get things organized after a sewage flood in October.  We are in the process of a forced remodel because of it, and one of the rooms being worked on is my sewing room.



But, I do want to share my quilt with you.  I need to add just a couple more borders, then I can get it quilted.




The quilting that I am going to do, will be free motion with some pretend ruler work.  I say pretend, because I don't have the ruler foot or rulers for machine quilting, but I will use my regular rulers to mark my lines.


I will share my quilt here as soon as I get it finished, so I would love for you to follow me. 



Info on the quilt:

Pattern is from Quiltmaker Jan/Feb 2014  and is designed by Margie Ullery of ribboncandyquiltcompany.com.   I love Margie's patterns.
As for the fabric, it all came from my stash. 


Please visit the other bloggers to see some wonderful inspiration.  I am learning that black and white quilts can be beautiful.

  23. I like the quilt so far and look forward to seeing it complete. I love your "pretend ruler work" statement. That made me laugh out loud. Good luck getting things back in order and on track. :-)

  24. What you've completed is great. Working on home projects and trying to find time to sew can be a challenge. That's where I'm at now. A cracked flange and a leaky toilet has forced a bathroom remodel we were hoping to put off for a while longer.
