A whole lot of of black & white fabrics: vote for your favorites!

Despite the fact that many people had expressed an interest in the idea of a black & white-themed Fabric Of the Week contest, we weren't quite prepared for 418 entries this week. There are many terrific fabrics, and, while the idea of a black and white quilt certainly appeals to the diminished color-processing capacity of my male brain, this does mean that those of you who vote will have quite a few pages of designs to wade through. Good luck and have fun!

The deadlines appear below, and a full set of rules and instructions for entry appears on our upcoming contests page.

Alphabet: Submit a fabric design that uses the alphabet as a design motif. The use of fonts created by others is acceptable as long as the license for the font or fonts you use includes permission to create derived works for commercial use. Please submit original work.
