It seemed like a good idea at the time....

black machine quilting on a largely black quilt. Well, I *think* it will be a dramatic quilt, that is if I don't loose my eye-sight in the process. The good news is that because it is SO VERY HARD TO SEE, it is very forgiving and the quilting mistakes are hard to see as well.

what was i thinking 

 (Please ignore the cat hair.)

Black thread on black fabric sounds impossible to see lol! Look forward to see it finished!

I'm sure the quilting will be beautiful (black on black - how forgiving), and the colors look great! Can't wait to see the finished quilt

I hadn't thought of the difficulty to see black on black either. I like the idea of any combo that hides the mistakes.

Finally someone who admits to having cat hair! Thank you. I tell anyone who gets something from my house to ignore these small tributes. I don't think I could do anything or wear anything unless it had a cat hair or two on it. They are my constant companions and my only children. Love your blog, beautiful quilt (I am so jealous) and I will be back.
