A couple of years ago, Roxane gifted me with a jelly roll of Kaffe Fassett fabrics. I had been looking for a pattern since that time and I found this one in Houston. It was in a booth (
Desert Stitchin) that had mostly southwestern-themed quilts and one similar to this. I purchased the pattern called
Strip Stacks. This quilt is only 50" x 72". The background is really five different black on black fabrics that all read as black. I really like the colors, the way it stands out with the black background, and it was quick to make. I have been thinking about how I am going to quilt it and have finally decided to just use a meander with a variegated thread.

This is a very effective pattern! Love it!
Great use of the black background to pop those colors. Nice!
Black really makes the bright colors pop!
I love this quilt. The colors are so rich. I also love the Kaffe Fassett fabrics, but sometimes I have difficulty in using them. They are such bold prints with so many colors that often, I don't get the effect I am looking for. This is a wonderful pattern for these fabrics. I think using them with a background that reads like a solid works well.
