The Black & White Blog Hop - Day FOUR - My Stop on the Hop

Welcome to Day FOUR of the Black and White Blog Hop!!

Carla @ Creatin' In the Sticks can't say no!

SEW...

Today is my day to join in on the:

But...

Just Black and white???

Not this color-loving quilter!!

(Carla said we could add to the color scheme, if we wanted.)

Even my Black and White scrap basket has a bit of PINK:

I've always wanted to try Black and White with YELLOW...

I started with this stack of scraps straight out of the basket above:

Then I began to piece things together:

Finally, I had a panel assembled for a small basket:

There were even enough scraps for the backing:

This is the completed Medium Quilted Basket:

Here it is in better lighting:

This is a peek at the other side:

But, WAIT!!

What about with my favorite LIME or chartreuse:

I pulled Black and White prints, too:

But, then remembered the bag of "pre-stickied" fabrics:

I decided to add some spots of my own using those:

The finished project turned out to be this adorable

Quilted Thread Catcher:

NOT intended for headgear:

And, of course...

I had to do something in Black and White with 

January's Color of the Month for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge:

RED!!!

Random piecing got me started on this adventure:

Little pops of RED kept me going:

Hmm... I think it needs to be bigger:

The piecing was done, SEW... I moved on to the quilting:

Hooray!!  A Black and White thread catcher:

Or... Black and White TALL thread catcher/drink holder:

This Black and White beauty was a gift from a good friend a number of years ago.  Sorry for the odd angle, it's WAY up on the studio wall.  It was her first foray into Crumb piecing, after I taught her the technique at our small Quilt Bee:

Thanks for stopping by!

I enjoyed making these baskets for the Black and White Blog Hop.  Thanks again, Carla, for hosting.

I had SEW much FUN!!!

So much so, that I couldn't stop there!

Let's try PURPLE...

Here is the top, all layered up:

Look carefully, this is a close-up of the quilting:

The resulting mug rug is waiting for YOU:
