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

I have collected blacks and whites and plan to add a likttle red in it. Have seen some made with a touch of orange, yellow and purple. ( I am saying black and white with one other color added.) ANd they were striking.

Am thinking about going with the black & white with bright pink and lime green touches. What do you think?
Same idea would be dramatic with just "Sophia" appliqued on whatever B&W background pattern you choose. Being appliqued, the name could wait until you're sure that's the one they're keeping! (A friend called her unborn son by name for six months, and a week before his birth decided she was tired of that name and picked a very different one for him--glad I had not written the name on anything yet!)

I made a black and white for a grand daughters wedding quilt and didn't add any color to it. I really didn't like it then and still don't like it. I am working on a black and white now and really do like it. I think a little color really makes the black and white prettier.
