Backing the BW Slashed Squares

I'm always amazed by the generosity of quilt bloggers, but I know I shouldn't be. One of my readers, Gail, asked if I needed some black and white fabrics, as she had more than enough.  I said "Sure!"


Even so, I was stunned when UPS delivered an enormous box filled with eight pounds of fabric to my door. Gail, you really rock!






There was a lot of truly great stuff in that big box. I'll be using most of it in the pieced backing of the black and white Slashed Squares quilt. I know I want to use the mini SS blocks on the backing too, so it will be fun to play with these different elements and see how they work out.
