The Black and White Top is Finished

Last night I finished piecing this.

Here is the pattern. It's block 180 from Carol Doak's book, 300 Paper Pieced Quilt Blocks (another great pattern book). I modified the end blocks so the white cross pattern would end complete and added the triangle ends.

Doesn't it look different when using just two colors?
I like this one.

What a great start to the weekend. I also spent time outside raking and doing other spring garden chores. When I was done, I toasted my efforts with a glass of blueberry wine.
Here I am celebrating the fact that I still have some tulips that the deer have not eaten. I sprayed all of them with a repellent (for the second time this week).

I predict a great weekend. Hope yours is to.

I promised I would show the finished table when I used the pinwheel tablerunner and chair covers that I made last week. I did a table yesterday.
I posted more about it on this post at my tablescaping blog.
