Scrappy Color Play 8.5" x 11"This is one of my all time favorite quilts, made for the Journal Quilt Project and shown at the International Quilt Festival in Houston. I love the graphic nature of the pink, fuchsia and black and white. It was a lot of fun to do such small piecing (the blocks are are about 2.75"-yes less than 3"). The paper pieced pattern was designed by my sister Donna and this is a sample for her class. It is a mix and match sampler: there are 6 pairs of blocks with the same pieces but each twin looks different based on color placement. See if you can find the match for each block.
There is a pattern available.
Don't forget to visit my other favorite -- part of my antique quilt collection (a cool blue and white schoolhouse quilt).

The quilt is visually stunning. It really stands out from the crowd. I love it.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing little quilt. It is hard to believe how small the blocks turned out. I am always attracted to black and white quilts, especially if they have an accent of some bright color. That's why I am so attracted to this one.
ReplyDeleteLove the pink & black, great pattern!
ReplyDeleteI was so surprised to read the size of the block! It's gorgeous!
ReplyDeletePink and Black are my favourite! It's beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteOh boy, stunning. Miniature quilts always amaze me :)
ReplyDeleteI've seen red, black and white, before, but the magenta instead of the red is stunning.
ReplyDeleteI found all the pairs! But I would never have the patience to do something this tiny - with a big quilt you can ease out any uneven pieces and distract everyone by pointing out other bits that you did great, but this is entirely perfect.
ReplyDeleteOh my, that is a tiny quilt! Beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteIt definately is a quilt of color play. I loved the one you put into the Springville Quilt Show too--the Crazy Quilt--that was a kick! You just keep coming up with wonderful surprises.
ReplyDeleteLove this great bold quilt. Great fabric selection.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt really pops. I love the quilt and it's a miniature quilt! I like black and white, and pink you added to it.
ReplyDeleteThe pink, black and white are stunning. I love that color combination.
ReplyDeleteYummy colors! I've been pondering a black, white & red quilt...but this has definitely pushed me to dig into the hot pink stash instead.
ReplyDeleteOMG - can't believe that's the size of a piece of paper!!! wowowowowow! Plus save on shipping to Houston LOL!
ReplyDeleteStunning! I can't believe the blocks are so small-perfect piecing!
ReplyDeleteFun working out the puzzle of the pairs...that card trick and the one above took me a minute to catch.
I love minis!! Beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteThat is a teeny tiny sampler! I'd love to see it in person and check out the matched blocks. Beautifully made and fun with the colors you chose. Thanks for sharing your quilt's story :)
ReplyDeleteWow, such little blocks! The colour combo it so striking!! It packs the punch of a huge quilt.
ReplyDeleteWow - this is a stunner!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is fabulous and I love how you have changed the colours around to make the blocks different. Fantastic :)
ReplyDeleteHi Snadra..
ReplyDeleteAt first I thought this was a big quilt...what an amzing little quilt, it's just beautiful!
Love it!
Julia ♥
love your use of pink and black - I'm going to have to make a pink and black quilt now too!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. :)
Great quilt. Looks bright and happy!
ReplyDeletejust love your adorable little quilt!! the colors are so fantastic and i always tell my daughter's short children that good things come in small packages! my quilting friend thinks i'm nuts, but i also love working in miniature. thanks for sharing and have a great day!
ReplyDeleteI had to click on the photo to bring it up bigger to be able to figure out the pairs. It took me a while, but I finally got it. This was a great lesson for me in the use of value - it certainly makes a difference, doesn't it. I'm not a pink person, but have to say the combination of hot pink and black is definitely appealing.
ReplyDeleteThe pink and black play off each other so well. Amazed for the size of the blocks. Great work and use of color
ReplyDeleteYour piecing is amazing with the smallness of each block. Very impressive.
ReplyDeleteOh, WOW, the color is amazing! That pink is so vivid and makes the whole quilt so graphic - LOVE!
ReplyDeleteThat's a miniature quilt?? WOW - amazing ! I had fun looking for the pairs - thanks for sharing this one!
ReplyDeleteStunning miniature quilt!!!!
ReplyDeleteTINY AND FANTASTIC!! well done!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness - the whole quilt is only 8.5" x 11"- WOW! Very often sampler quilts look disjointed to me - everything fits together beautifully - and I love the B&W and fuschia.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is absolutely gorgeous! such tiny blocks, wonderful work.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! I agree, the combination of pink, fuchsia, and black is fantastic! What great fabric choices for this quilt. I love it :)
ReplyDeleteWow - I like the black and pink together!! Still not sure about the pairs of blocks. Very cool!
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful Qult is work! Good technical solutions :)
ReplyDeleteThank you the blog visit.
Love this color combo. I like black/white and any color. And I have the fabric to make one...but I need time
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment on my blog. I don't remember where I got the pattern for the turtle. It could have been a coloring book or something I saw in an ad. who knows. We never worried about copyright in the 70s. My how things have changed.
What a fantastic little quilt! Amazing how much color placement can make one block look entirely different.
ReplyDeleteVery stunning! Those colors are so fabulous together. I can't imagine how much work you put into this, with those tiny pieces.
ReplyDeleteI`m impressed! So perfect small blocks! Beautiful colours!
ReplyDeleteLove the combo of pink, black, and white -- I loved the 60's, and this takes me there. Lovely job!
ReplyDeleteDiane
A very fun and stunning quilt.
ReplyDeleteWow - how fun! I am terrified of mini quilts. Less fudge factor. EEK! Yours is stunning.
ReplyDeleteVery cool! I can't imagine piecing that small!!
ReplyDeleteWow that is stunning, i cant believe how small it is!
ReplyDeleteWow - blocks less than 3"? Paper piecing? I am in awe... I love the pink, black and white fabrics you used. It is a very striking little quilt.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful quilt with gorgeous colors! :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt! So much precision! Amazing!
ReplyDeleteSandra,

Your quilt is lovely - I don't see black/pink quilts very often. So, it's nice to see a different color scheme.
