Freehand Shell Meander and Black Fabric

Freehand Shell Meander and Black Fabric

It’s important to think about all parts of your quilt when selecting fabrics for your quilt.  For this quilt, the top is a black, red and white and the backing fabric is solid black.  Normally with solid black backing fabric I would use Quilter’s Dream Midnight black but the quilt top had white fabric which the black batting would shadow through.  So, we used Quilter’s Dream 100% cotton select natural, which can peak through the needle holes.  Luckily, it only pokes through a couple of places and after it’s washed should show even less.  I love the red thread on the black making this a reversible quilt!  The thread is Superior Threads So Fine #50.
