    That sounds great!

    Two friends made very nice black and white quilts from a sampler pattern . I believe it was from Quilt Blocks Galore.
    One added some red to the quilt and it looked very good.

    I forgot to mention in my previous reply that I have made a couple of table runners in b&w in a zigzag that I really like.

    I had a lot of black and white fat quarters. I have a quilt top made - all with double triangle square (I think that's what it's called). Everyone loves the black and white together. I did not use a third color.

    There is a free pattern called "Wickedly Easy Quilt." The directions include baby, lap, twin and queen instructions. It is written for use with fat quarters and there is very little waste.

    There is a booklet called "Turning Twenty" that makes up lovely with fat quarters. It takes 20, of course. It is easy to make. It would showcase your beautiful black and white fabrics. I had a class from Pepper Cory who was making a black and white quilt and she used some purple, teal, and red in it. Very pretty.

    I made a b/w after wanting to for years - I did it with a variety of 20 different star blocks - tried to be sure to use each fabric three times and it was so much fun - putting it together was the problem as I wanted to connect with sashing that didn't shout - finally found a tiny circle print of black on white and it was perfect. Since then I saw another done all in B/w but the quilter appliqued huge preprinted poppies in a few places - Good luck!
