I have had this on the frame for a lonnnnnngggg time.
It is very difficult to photograph black fabric.
I had lots of stand and stare moments, I asked my friends on MQR for their opinions, I even asked my husband his thoughts. All in all, I think I like the way it looks - particulary the back. Hey, my husband even gave one of his biggest compliments... "wow, that's cool." I used at least five thread colors, and I believe that I can now consider myself experienced at burying threads!
Now just some binding by hand and a sleeve for the local quilt show. I may hang this quilt in our living room for awhile. I have always loved black quilts.

The back looks amazing! You have done a fantastic job.
It looks great! I love to see simple shapes like that where the colour of the fabric and the talent in the quilting get to sing.
Very nice. I love all the thread colors on the back. Very pretty.

WOWWWWWWW! That is so amazing. Front and back, not sure which side a like better. Just incredible.
Wonderful! Both sides are beautiful:)
Extremely lovely! Make sure the sun doesn't shine on it. A friend in the know said "black fades fast". I had to laugh at the thread burying comment. Do you use a self-threading needle? Saves a LOT of time!!
oh my ... extraordinary!!!
Your husband has it right - very cool!! I love the quilting design, and the way that it looks on the back is awesome! Whoop whoop!!
That is stunning! Great job!
