As often happens, my subconscious influences my design choices. I’d been thinking about black & white quilts for the Curated Quilts mini challenge, and I noticed a fruit bowl in a friend’s kitchen. The shape of the fruit bowl intrigued me, and I couldn’t get it out of my mind. So when I visited her the next day, I asked if I could take a photo.
I selected a white fabric with silver lines that reminds me of Arborite kitchen countertops of my youth. I built the fruit bowl with black bias tape.
My original intention was to submit the black fruit bowl on a white countertop as a completed mini quilt. But I couldn’t resist adding some stylized fruit.
I’m not sure if it meets the criteria of mostly black & white with a sense of motion – but isn’t that lemon trying to escape from the bowl? I have submitted it anyway, and even if it isn’t selected, I love it!
