I made a b&w houndstooth check quilt that is quite stunning. This picture shows a baby size, but mine is much larger.

Thank you everybody for the wonderful ideas. I'm going to start collecting black and white now and start sewing in the spring. I love the idea of some silver in it. Maybe some Christmas fabrics will have just a little touch of silver that might work. I could use it as a small first border or a flange or on the label. The wedding will be in December 2013. So many ideas. I just have to make up my mind. Thanks again.

I made a black and white sampler quilt for my DS and DDIL with the initials of their names in the center of the quilt.
