Funky Black and White Modern Quilt, with custom quilting by Angela Huffman - QuiltedJoy.comSandy made this quilt top for her DIL and did a great job as always. She used Thinking Outside the Block: Step by Step to Dynamic Quilts by Sandi Cummings as her guide for this quilt. She told me her daughter-in-law loves high contrast black and white. Sandy added the coral and blue strips that add such a great surprise to the design that is mirrored in her backing.

I picked a very angular and straight line design to play against the curvy circles in the main part of the quilt. I used white thread on the black fabric and I'm so glad I did. The high contrast really complements the quilt, don't you think?
