Welcome to day 2 of the Black and White Blog Hop!
It's actually kind of funny thing, but I am not normally attracted to the idea of Black and White, but right before the sign up for this Blog Hop I saw the most intriguing design in a magazine. It was a tile floor in black and white and I thought it would make a fabulous quilt! So, of course, I had to sign up and see if I could figure out how to make my idea come to life.
I started out playing with the idea in EQ8. I drew it out several times, taking my time tweaking the design to try to create something that was easier to piece. In the end I decided that the very easiest way to make this quilt would be to foundation paper piece it.
This project was totally meant to be because at this point I realized that I had the perfect fabrics to use for my project - solid back and white batik fabric from Island Batik! (provided in my July Ambassador box) So I broke out the fabric and got busy paper piecing.
After that, it didn't take long and the top was done in pretty short order.

This is amazing. I saw the same tiles in a backsplash of a kitchen in an episode of Property Brothers on HGTV, and thought the same thing. You can see my version of it on my blog post Thursday! I didn't make the quilt however, just used it as a design challenge of the day. Your quilt is gorgeous. Thanks for the pattern download!
