Details of quilts from Splash of Color
My name is Jackie Kunkel and I’m the author of Splash of Color: A Rainbow of Brilliant Black-and-White Quilts. This book was such a joy for me to create. I LOVE black and white fabrics and everything bright, bold, and rainbow-like.
My love for mixing pops of color with black and white fabrics goes way back. In 2008, I began The Black and White Quilt Challenge Project for quilters who shared that love. You’ll find lots of inspiration there, as we had 100 contributors!
My love for these fabric combos continued to grow. That led me to draft a proposal for a book with the same focus, and that led to Splash of Color!
“Proud Mary” quilt and alternate colorway
I’ve collected black and white fabrics over many years and they are plentiful in my stash. When you pair bright fabrics with black and white they really POP! In Splash of Color I talk about which kinds of prints and colors work well together, which don’t, and why.
Examples of white on black, black on white, and multicolor prints on black or white.
The first quilt I made for Splash of Color was “Lava Lamps.” This is probably my favorite quilt, as there are so many design possibilities within just two simple shapes.
“Lava Lamps” quilt
If you look closely, you’ll see a variety of multicolor prints on black and white. Because of the distinct black and white backgrounds, it’s easy to create a fantastic design.
One vision I had for Splash of Color was to have my quilting friends participate. I asked each one which pattern she’d like to make and then gave each of them guidelines for making an alternate version. For “Seeing Spots,” I gave my friend Fran the template and asked her to create a black, white, and rainbow quilt.
Jackie’s “Seeing Spots” quilt
She did. But instead of simply following my original layout, she came up with an incredible new design using the same colors and shapes! She simply changed the value placement to turn a hexagon quilt into a strippy diamond design.
Fran’s “Seeing Spots” quilt
There’s a lot to see and learn in Splash of Color, and a lot of fun quiltmaking to be had. Enjoy, and happy quilting!

—Gail G on September 25, 2015I am heavy on black and white AND bright colored fabrics. Though black and whites are always my fall back group when I’m looking to add to my collection and I can’t decide on anything else. This book would be a great way to use up some of my stash.
—Cyndi on September 25, 2015I am definitely a color girl. I do have some blacks, and not too many whites. This book would sure be inspirational to me.

—Liz F. on September 25, 2015I don’t have an excess of black and white prints but I have a ton of colors.

Incorporating a rainbow is just what I’ve been looking for. Thanks!
—Kathy Renz on September 25, 2015Rainbow brights have been my favorites, so I have a good collection of those. The black/white bin is growing, so this would be a great way to make a dent in both. I love seeing the alternate colorways.

—Sue H on September 25, 2015My stash is primarily a rainbow of colors. The contrast of black and white is so dramatic, I’m thinking I should start collecting a B/W collection now!

—Ginny Leber on September 25, 2015Have always wanted to make a black, white and red quilt. Have plenty of black and white prints, but have just started looking at the reds.

—Nancy on September 25, 2015I have more colors than black and white, but I am collecting black and white slowly but surely to make a black and white quilt. I like the mixes of black and white with the colors so I may change my mind on that choice if I win this book.
—CindyM in Oregon on September 25, 2015I have a LOT of black & white fabrics, they are my favorite background for bright colors. They make the colors pop even though the background has it’s own designs.
—connie b on September 25, 2015I have more of a rainbow of colors but have been actively searching for black on white and white on black prints as they are so fun to work with. Love the striking quilts in your book!

I’ve just returned home from a quilt show and, for the first time, my purchases haven’t included blue!
—Helen Lawrie on September 25, 2015My stash contains a lot of different colors, but predominately earth and fall tones. Those are my favorite, but since I am making quilts for all my family members (25) for Christmas this year, I’ve had to step out of my comfort zone and buy ones that I would not normally chose. Good thing I started a year ago!!
—Judy Pennington on September 25, 2015I’ve done one black and white with many colours quilt many, many years ago for my son who collects penguins. I featured as many different coloured stars as I could think of with the centre square of each star either black or white and featuring an appliqued or pieced penguin.
thus I have many leftovers of both black and white and recently have been thinking it’s time to resurrect them. Great ideas in this book!
—Elaine on September 25, 2015Most of my stash is a variety of colors, but I do have a small bin of black and white prints. I have made a black and white quilt, but never one that incorporates color in the mix. Another item for my bucket list!

—Linda Collum on September 26, 2015Along with every color of the rainbow and more, I’ve been adding black and white fabrics to do a B&W with a splash of color. I almost have enough–or is that even possible? It seems there’s always an irresistible new design I HAVE to have.

—Deb on September 26, 2015Although my stash is a rainbow of colors, I am heaviest on blues. I love fabrics that have movement, but read solid from a distance.

I began quilting in 1992 and created my own "modern quilt movement," it just didn’t have a name. It was the way I saw quilts.

I do love to collect black on white fabrics and am also working on a rainbow scrap quilt with these black on whites. So fun.
—shellie purcell on September 27, 2015My stash is mostly solids but after seeing all of this inspiration, I think I will be adding more prints. Thanks!
—Diane on September 27, 2015I have many colors, lots of white, but only a few blacks and greys.
—Nancy on September 27, 2015I haven’t many B&W or bright fabrics but it’s a good reason to change that, I like all the projects.
—Béatrice on September 27, 2015I have mostly colours I have to confess although my colour wheel is by no means complete! I’m always drawn to blues of various shades and have to force myself to buy colours like orange and yellow which I feel little affinity with, unfortunately. I do like the way all of the rainbow works with black and white as shown in the pictures from this great book and think that might well be the way to go!
—Suzanne on September 28, 2015love the depth you get with the black and white. Looks like a great book!
—Margaret Griffiths on September 28, 2015My stash has a lot of reds, black and white.
—Nancy Hilderbrand on September 28, 2015I have the full rainbow, in both prints and solids. BUT I also have ~10 yds in b+w and w+b prints in FQ. Clearly this book was written for me!
—Nicole on September 28, 2015My stash is heavy on colours! Every so often I have to really think and pick up blacks and whites.
—Vicky on September 28, 2015I am definitely a rainbow quilter, but now I see that I need to go shopping for some black & whites!

—Marianne on September 29, 2015My stash has a lot of colors but I’m trying to "bust" them and think this could be an answer. akronne17(at)gmail(dot)com
—Alice Ronne on September 29, 2015I have more colour prints than anything but I’ve been trying to build up my black and whites and solids.
—MoeWest on September 29, 2015I would say I have a rainbow of colors with lots of black and whites. So many quilts shown that I would love to make. Especially like Proud Mary

—Diane B on September 29, 2015I have a rainbow!

—Cathy on September 29, 2015I have quite a few black and whites as one daughter in law uses them in her decorating and I am going to make a table runner for her for Xmas this year. I also love the stark contrast of black and white.

—kathy pfaltzgraff on September 29, 2015I have too many colours and not enough black and whites. Sounds like a good excuse for a shopping trip so I can use some of the ideas in the book.
—Claire k on September 29, 2015Pink, always pink, with a splash of turquoise and a drop of orange surrounded with white.
—Laura on September 29, 2015I have lots & lots of fabric. I collect black & white prints & batiks & Kaffe Fasset & florals & brights & everything you can think of. Oh & I have a huge stash of Jinny Beyer & a huge stash of Paula Nadelstern fabrics!
