Licorice Medley

Woo-hoo! A finish! It's the baby size version of Licorice Medley



a pattern from the Book of the Month selection, Black & White, Bright & Bold by Kim Schaefer (affiliate link). 



And what a fast, easy block to put together, plus a great way to use up 2 1/2" squares.

For this quilt, I combined coveted Moda Grunge squares,



and black and whites from the stash,



for a beautiful, fun quilt!



Quilted with silver Glide thread, 



and one of my favorite pantos, Bluster,



the quilting is shown off beautifully on the orange flannel on back.

I love quilts that use a variety of fabrics in them! They just have so much more interest.




I'm glad I chose to continue this book for August, as I've got my eye on another pattern. Today, I'll start pulling fabrics. Hmm, don't know how far I will get given the weekend is devoted to repairing the gazebo. Just when I was having fun quilting, darn it!

Here's to a great weekend quilting for you!

  2. Stunning! I love black and white quilts. I'll have to look for this book. Looks like it would be easy with not many seams to match.
