"Midnight Quilts" by Lerlene Nevaril is a good book, where all of the quilts have black backgrounds. Nevaril begins the book with construction techniques, and then presents 11 quilts, that are mostly traditional. I was surprised when she talked about making a 1930's quilt with a black background, since those quilts mostly had white or pale backgrounds.
We all know how traditional Amish quilts shine with their black backgrounds and bright colors. Midnight Quilts uses this idea, black and bright, making these quilts gleam with similar results.
This is a good book for almost any quilter wanting to mix things up. Looks like fun!
