Hello Everyone,
Welcome to my third installment of Black and White Inspiration. So on my second post regarding my black and white quilts, I had asked which color I would use next. For those of you who guessed lime green, you were right!!!
This just seemed to be the right color to try next. I loved the results. So here we go...
I again used a variety of black and white fabrics since I have an extensive collection. This quilt was created from a class that I took with Laurie Shifrin. Those of you who may not be familiar with her, she is the one who has written a series of batik books. Her most "famous" one being Batik Beauties.
Yes, there is curved piecing and I do love curves!! This little bit of lime that is in the curve is actually dimensional. It is a flange just peeking out of there.
It kind of undulates with the curves. I do love the way it looks. The pattern is Laurie's Mango Tango. It is a single pattern and is not in any of her books.
She was a phenomenal teacher. I learned quite a bit from her. If you have a chance to take a class with her, do it!
Here is the entire quilt. Yet, another one that I have not quilted. Don't know why either, this is a smallish one too. I have the backing all ready to go too. I guess I should get it on the long arm soon, right?
But I did just quilt the Bordered Diamonds quilt and am going to start binding it tonight!! Stay tuned for another post with a finished quilt!! Woohoo!
Until Next Time...

Great quilt Jackie. The green border "makes" it.
Gorgeous! I love black and white with another colour! I've got one planned with a green too, but a more olive green.
I love lime with black and white quilts. Lime was my favorite color growing up, and it still calls to me.
Jackie, it is awesome! The tiny green flange in the curves is such a cool idea... great job!
The lime is just perfect for the black & white printed fabric.
