I’m really excited to be today’s stop on Jennifer Sampou’s Blog Hop for her beautiful new line of fabric, Black & White. I am sharing the day with Angela Walters, so be sure to pop by her blog where she discusses the quilting for my Black & White quilt.
I have been a long time fan of Jennifer’s fabric designs and I have quite the collection of quilts using her past lines (click the links to see my other quilts): Shimmer, Color:Full, Studio Stash and now Black & White…
Designing a value-based quilt has been on my to-do list for awhile, so I jumped at the chance to design something for Black & White. A traditional Storm at Sea block seemed like to perfect way to show off the variety of shades and patterns in the fabric line.
I love the warmth the subtle taupe tones add to the fabrics and look at that amazing quilting by Angela Walters! I have also been using those dots in every single project I make. I adore them!
I recently received EQ7 and it was a ton of fun to upload the fabrics into the program and play around them with them. I don’t think I could have designed this quilt without the ability to play around with the fabrics so freely.
If you are interested in making your own Storm At Sea, the pattern is available for FREE at Robert Kaufman, or you can purchase a kit, which includes the pattern and Black & White fabrics to make the top, at Keepsake Quilting.
And now for the prizes!

Hi My name is Ellen Campbell. I loves to quilt. I see the Information in this Blog is very helpful. I loves the designs. I’m reading them all from here on.♥️♥️♥️♥️
I see a beautiful handbag with these prints! You rocked the challenge of a value based quilt – what a stunning finish!
I love the storm at sea pattern….I would also try one in black and white
wow!! The quilt looks incredible and so striking in monotone!
The fabrics in the taquito pack would make a lovely evening clutch.
My son has been asking for a new quilt and as black is one of his favorite colors, “Black and White” would work perfectly with a few red accents thrown in just for fun.
I made a log cabin black & white quilt. I loved it. now I have several scraps left. planning to make another black and white quilt. today is my 90th birthday.
I have wanted to make a value-based quilt, but no idea how to pull it together! You have solved the 2 biggest problems: what colors/line and what kind of pattern. THIS quilt I will make. And if having EQ7 helped you do this, then it’s time I make that leap as well! Thanks for much for being my inspiration today. (and I might just throw a bunch of mid-range turquoise on the backing)
This would make a perfect table runner!
I would like to try a value based quilt and this fabric is just perfect!
I’d make a small tote bag.
Your quilt is amazing. I love the use of the feather fabríc in your blocks. Once I went to Jennifer Sampou’s page, I knew that I wanted to make the Elephant and I pattern. It definitely “speaks” to me :). Magistra13 at yahoo dot com

The fabrics are lovely! These would be the perfect fabrics to add to my white, black and red hexagon medallion quilt!
Beautiful contrasts. I can see an Indian Teepee in cream and black, with the feather print as background
“Shelter in a storm”.
Beautiful quilt. I love the idea of a black and white quilt and a pop of color. I have a mariners compass medallion I’ve been wanting to make into a gray scale quilt. These would be perfect for that!
The fabric is beautiful! The quilting adds to the quilt, but the piecing is spot on with the fabric and the dotted background! I like to use a small complementary print as background on my quilts. Thank you for sharing.
The fabric is beautiful! The quilting adds texture to the quilt, but the patter and piecing is wonderful. I usually use a small print for the background in most of my quilts. This really adds interest.
Gorgeous quilt! I’ve admired “Storm at Sea” quilts for quite some time now. I think I would give it a go! Thanks for the chance to win!
I’d make a tote bag with these lovely fabrics. Can’t go wrong with black and white!
Gorgeous quilt-but way too advanced for a beginner like me-something to aspire to for sure.
I think it would make a beautiful log cabin quilt!
WOW! Incredible quilt! With the prize I would make two color quilt!
Your quilt is gorgeous! I’d make a black & white log cabin quilt, if I’m lucky enough to win. Thanks.
Early in my marriage, I made a black and white wall hanging that appeared 3D because of the color placement. It faded and got put away, but my husband still mentions it. If I won, I would make him a replacement!
I love your Storm at Sea, I’ve never made that pattern, and it would be great to try! I’ve used some of Jennifer’s fabrics before and loved them!
Your quilt is absolutely stunning!! One always wanted to make a Storm at Sea quilt, and your design is inspiring!! If I won I would make a bed runner.
I really think you used this collection brilliantly. I especially like that you play with value even when working in your lightest or darkest areas. I have been toying with the idea of a Bargello quilt and these fabrics may be a good fit.
i love working with black and white, these are a lovely twist on the colors. I think I’d make a wall hanging for our new living room!
Gorgeous quilt – takes a special brain to create something like that -congratulations! Me, I’d probably make table runners with the Black & White! lol

Mix the black and white fabric with rainbow colors in a quilt.

I would add a touch of red and make an improvisational quilt.
I’ve been eyeing some zippered bag patterns. The black and white would pair nicely with a solid color and a colorful zipper. Your Storm at Sea is lovely. I particularly like how your fabric choices make such a traditional block so modern and fresh. Thanks! Notwendy gmail

I’d make some pouches with this pretty fabric!

Your quilt turned out wonderful. I love the shading. I’m sure I would make a quilt but probably not as good as yours.

OMGosh – your quilt is absolutely gorgeous! I would love to make a black & white quilt-with just a touch of red! Thanks so much for the chance to win 🙂
what do they say about copying being the best form of flattery. I would make your storm at sea quilt
I’ve been wanting to get some B&W fabrics to make a charity quilt for my work (non-profit) to auction off. I feel like the B&W might be more broadly appealing.
Janice , Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm for Jennifer Sampou’s past and present collections.
I too love Shimmer (I hope your Shimmer quilt is still glamming up your living space).
With Black and White it would be clothing, a sarong, long flowing skirt, or blouse, all accented in brights like turquoise, coral, raspberry Kona’s.
My son and daughter-in-law have a “thing” for black and white, so I having been planning a black and white quilt for them — probably a sofa quilt.
After seeing your Storm at Sea quilt in these black and whites I would definitely make one of those…..absolutely beautiful.
I’ve been planning a black and white and maybe red quilt for a while, so these would go perfectly with what I’ve been collecting!
I would make a table topper if I win this Taquito. My daughter loves elephants, so the pattern would be perfect to make her a quilt.
I would make a churn dash quilt with the lighter colors being the back ground.
Your storm at sea quilt is lovely and the fabrics are beautiful!
I would add it to a black and white with teal quilt that I am making. Love the way you did you quilt!
It’s my niece’s birthday and I’m planning a black and white colour scheme with a splash of purple… Simple but sophisticated (hopefully)
I want to make a smaller version of this quilt, for a wall hanging. Can I just reduce all piece sizes by say 1/2″. I am shooting for 50 x 70ish area finished.
Thx for your directions and keep up your good work
I love the storm at sea… I’m going to try it with shades of teals and creams.
Would love to make a quilted book bag with the black and white fabric, for my granddaughters who love to read!
Thank you sooooo much for the storm at sea pattern. Blessings
Beautiful quilt. I have been wanting to make my sister a black and white quilt . This one would be wonderful for her. She would love it.
Fell in love with the pattern and made a square variation of it in chartreuse, gray, off white, and aqua that turned out beautifully, one of the most spectacular quilts I’ve yet made.

I would try to make the storm at sea quilt. I love yours!
The Storm at Sea is very dramatic. I’d like to make that.
Your Storm at sea was awesome. Living by the ocean, the quilt feels just like that quilt. I would also like to work the color values. As Betty said, you have given me the steps on how to achieve my problems with which colors and which pattern. Best of all, I can’t wait to put on my couch and watch the ocean! Thanks.
I would make an hour glass quilt. I don’t think I am ready for Storm at Sea.
One of the best and my favorite blog ever.
