I know, anyone who knows me might think I've gone bonkers as I have always made extremely colorful quilts and have been known to throw the most bright colors together. But you know what, I think although I still love color and will always make colorful quilts, I have really grown to like crisp black and white or neutral monochromatic color schemes lately and I think I will go more in that direction in the future.
Color palettes have been on my mind constantly and I will post about some ideas soon, but for now here is one of my recent black and white quilts. This one is a lap quilt or maybe large baby/toddler quilt or playmat. I used a number of different black and white prints with some Kona Ash, my go to neutral shade, and I love the result.
I have also started to use black and white a lot with some minor splashes of color, like in this baby quilt.
And I LOOOOOVE this quilt which used lots of Kona solids with some splashes of black and white. I think I really need to explore this a bit more as I love the effect and I can imagine this in a number of different color palettes.
What do you think? Do you like monochromatic color palettes or black and white quilts?
I have also started a number of other black and white quilts so watch this space.
Love of love,
Nadine
