black and white square in a square
I was looking through my material, and from some previous project, I have a
big piece of white material and a big piece of black material. I thought it might make a neat looking thing to use those in quilt with paper pieced square in a square blocks, half having the innernost square in white, half with the innermost square in black. For the borders, I have some material that is black and white striped, each stripe being 1 inch wide. For the binding I would use solid black. For the back, I might see if I can hunt up some black and white plaid. Here is the problem - I looked at the the black and white fabric that I have, and it is a knit. In fact, the white has about 50% stretch in one of the directions, and about 25% in the other direction. If streched on the bias (or at least what I think is the bias), it seems to have almost 100% stretch. The black does not have nearly as much stretch, but it is definately a knit. Can I still make a quilt out of this material, the ultimate goal is ABC quilts. Brian Christiansen |
