It’s back-to-basics this week at Nancy’s Notions! Have you ever wanted to just make a very basic, very simple quilt? Let’s talk about a simple pattern and a simple color scheme.
Black and White Fabrics
It doesn’t really get much simpler or basic than using only black and white fabric for your quilt. It’s so classy, yet simple! Use solid black fabric or solid white fabric and presto! Use have a beautiful color scheme for your quilt. However, you can always spice it up a bit by using black and white prints, instead of solids, or you can even throw in a pop of color (like red!) in with the black and white fabric. If you’re tired of overthinking color schemes, switch over to black and white. You won’t be sorry. (Pssst. American Made solid black and white fabrics are on sale this week with the coupon from the Nancy’s Notions Newsletter!)

It can be random color placement or planned color-placement. It looks phenomenal in black and white – or any color scheme! Check out the tutorial below.
