Have you ever made a black-and-white quilt?

If you have thirds of red, black and white, it makes a different dramatic feel, not as powerfull, but very attractive.

Do you have a picture of your quilt you might share? My daughter wants a black, white and purple quilt. I am planning to make a D9P block, but am having a difficult time envisioning it with purple instead of red accent fabric, which is what I used in the first one I made.
Thanks
Thanks

Yes, I made one about 4 years ago from pre-cut 12" blocks that I picked up during a shop-hop. I wanted some color added so I framed them in a medium turqoise. The quilt is beautiful and someday will give it as a gift.

I made 3 black and whites with a pop of color each this summer. One with pink, one with yellow and one with red. I used just a few squares of each color in each quilt then added border material with black, white and say hot pink in it to tie it all together. They turned out great, lots of kudos

Have one waiting to make. From McCalls Quick Quilts. The one in the magazine was black, white and lime green. I am thinking I would use red instead of lime. It would stand the test of time better I think.
