Here’s a fab black-on-white sewing machine print fabric from Marcus Brothers. I just love black & white prints. They make bright colors pop and can work with subdued shades as well. Give it a try. A black & white print might be just the fabric you need to add contrast and interest to your next quilt top.

For a great idea on using black & white prints, check out the BOM at Citrus Belt Quilters. They’re doing a log cabin with half different colors and half black-on-white prints. The finished quilts are going to look fantastic!

If you haven’t visited the Marcus Brothers website lately, they have a great collection of free quilt patterns and craft projects on their Make it with Marcus page. I especially like the Scrappy Dots wallhanging. That would be fun to make with brights and black & white!
