Black and White is a classic combination. If you look around you are bound to see it somewhere.
Now I had some black and white hexagon flowers in my unfinished project box. A quilt that never went the way it was supposed to go.




 These are easy to make using English paper piecing. Start with the centre hexagon and sew two rounds of hexagons for each large coasters. You could do one ring aounar the centre hexagon for a smaller coaster.
 For the table runner I sewed three rounds and then a fourth round on two of them. Then sew on either side of the smaller flower. Followed by filling in the edges so the black running all the way around. Then I trimmed the sides up so they straight. Layout the batting put your backing fabric right side up, followed the pieced top right side down. Pin all three layers together. Sew a 1/4 inch all the way around leaving an opening. Turn right side out. Press and top stitch the opening closed and quilt.
Once I finish with them the coasters can be tucked in the middle and it folds up nicely to be put away.

Just like this. I even used black and white on the back.



Untill Next Time
Keep Stitching

    What a pretty set. English Paper Piecing is one of my favorite methods and this looks like a very manageable project. Love it in black and white. Thank you, so much for joining the B&W blog hop. Such a great idea!

    That is so clever and I love how it all folds up together. The pop of red is so pretty in the centers too.

    I'm seeing so many EPP today and I really need to give it a try. Your coasters and runner are so beautiful. I may start with something small like that.

    I love hexagons, as you can see on my blog. And this is a great way to use them. I agree, quilts are taking their own way, always. And often end up different from what you thought when you started them.

    Great way to use up blocks that didn't go that right way. I love EPP but would never have the patience to do it.
