"What is black and white and red (read) all over? goes the old children's riddle...Answer: a newspaper! This color scheme happens to be a favorite of my friend, Brenda, and she was due for a quilt.
I planned on using a variety of black, white and red pieces for each arc but decided it looked way too busy. So some of the arcs are pieced but all white or mostly all black. Other arcs I made of just one piece.
It's quilted in the ditch, except for the centers where I used simple designs in variegated black and white thread. I like the effect produced because part of the thread color disappears against the center's color, eg. the heart design fades out.”
