During the month of April, I’m participating in the Blogging From A to Z Challenge for my 4th year in a row – 3 of which are on this blog. Each day, except Sundays, there will be a post for the letter of the day as well as keeping with my personal theme of Quilts and Quotes. Feel free to leave a comment! I’d love to hear from you! Also check out the other A to Z’ers in the comment section of the Official A to Z Blog Page.

The light and dark of a quilt are to give contrast. It can give such dramatic appearances.

• You can use light thread on a dark fabric as well to change the effect.
• The light and dark can also give a 3-D illusion as in the Tumbling Blocks quilts.
• A wave quilt is another take on dimension.
• And last but not least are the photo quilts where pieces are combined to reproduce a picture, face, or scenery in a realistic fashion.

And this my friends is why quilters, sewists and other fibre-creative persons have a ‘stash’ of supplies. You never know when a certain color will come in handy.

Can I get an Amen?

(thanks to Pinterest for the above examples)

and now for my “Q” quilt block for the Challenge…..

For one block, this one works up very quickly. It could double as an X quilt block, but the quilt book author didn’t see it that way.

“Quilt in Light and Dark” is not the fanciest name for a quilt block, but for the sake of this Letter Q, I’m thankful the author had this one single suggestion in her book for Q.

One Quote for the Day:
