A Formal Affair: A Black and White Quilt Pattern

Our best-selling online course is back and better than ever! APQS Longarm Certification Sponsored by Quilting Daily has been revised and updated. Not only will you learn how to make beautiful quilts, you’ll also gain skills to turn your passion into a paycheck with tips on how to run your own quilting business.

A Formal Affair, a bed-sized quilt made up in fashionable black and beige prints, is a real beauty. This black and white quilt pattern might only feature two colors with touches of beige here and there but it is still filled with powerful interest. While this quilt has a tribal feeling to the aesthetic, it also fits perfectly into any home with the beautiful and traditional log cabin quilt units shown throughout this top. So elegant, but it’s a deceptively simple design, relying on a single Log Cabin block. Try a large floral print or paisley pattern for the wide border. If black and white aren’t your cup of tea, consider mixing the look up entirely to make a quilt top that’s all your own!
