After much auditioning, I decided to set my block inside black. To quilt, I started at the center and quilted a line on the black, following the square spiral to the outside of the quilt. I continued to echo that at roughly 1/8'' until the entire background was quilted.
Sewing on black fabric with black thread and following your previous quilted lines is VERY hard to do. Instead of my walking foot, I used an open foot that gave me the best visibility. Given the piece is small, this worked quite well.
I will be entering spin into Curated Quilts call for black & white mini quilts.
The quilt is faced (tutorial) and finishes at 11'' x 11''. I used scraps of black and white from my stash.
Have a wonderful day! Patty
This is just lovely--I cannot imagine doing black on black quilting--it must be difficult...
