I was looking at my latest Hancock's catalog and found a book all about
black and white quilts. Here's what it says-
Black & White Quilts By Design by Kay Capps Cross In this book Kay
illustrates 12 contemporary and traditional quilt designs for use with black
and white fabrics AQS6902
You're welcome!

I have that book (big surprise). I don't think there is much new in it that
is innovative or remarkable. JMHO

Then you just saved me a few $$ thanks
I'll keep looking and will probably do a bit from this quilt pattern and a
bit from that and maybe even had a bit of my own. just don't ask which bits
are from where when all is said and done. I won't remember

Ms B, you can use EQ to design in black and white fabrics.
you can change the colours within the fabrics on the program.
iirc, right click on the drop down colour palette, there is something there
about changing colours or adding new colours.
using a fabric with a design similar to yours, change the colours of the
various components of the design, the full colour palette is there from
black to white and all colours inbetween, just click all the way to right or
left of each bit on the design til it looks like your fabrics, then save it
back to the palette. do this will all the different fabrics.
i hope that makes some sense.
once you get the fabs all in black/white variations, you can use those to
design from blocks there or design your own blocks with them. easy peasy
really.
hard for me to be more specific, as i've not opened EQ in yonks.
have a play round and see what you can figure out.
fwiw,
jeanne

NOW you tell me! NOW! Why on earth didn't *I* think of that? I did have
another reminder of it earlier today.....great minds and all that :) Ne'er
mind that *I* had forgotten I had that program and that its suppose to be
able to let you scan in your own fabrics..hmmmm I'll have to see if they
have it in their fabric selections that I can download.
What would I do without you two?
Whaddaya think of a New York Beauty which I can NOT remember ever ever ever
doing before. Saw one that I could 'shadow' the points with light and dark
on each bigger point? Think that would be neat for the directional fabrics
out thon teh outer points? Saw it in the 8" blocks but I think 12" would
show more pattern off and it wouldn't take soooooooooo many PIECES : 8"
13X13 squares = 4056 pieces. Mamma MIA! I do like working with curves so
that won't be a snafu--just the sheer number seems a bit overwhelming at
first. Now to figure on the 12"squares
9x9=81x24pieces per block=1944. That seems much more manageable.
Will do as per instructed and make ONE block first. I can always put a bit
of sashing to make it pillow size if needed.
Still cogitating but getting closer........
