I like them either way (with or without an accent color) but here's a picture of one made as a wedding gift for a bride whose attendants wore kelly green.

I have done white and black with red with yellow and one with hot pink. I have also done just black and white. Just depends on the pattern I chose and the recipient.

I adore black and white quilts and always use black in some way (maybe just binding) in all my quilts - it is my "signature". Pink, lime green or a small amount of yellow will really make the quilt stand out.

It's up to you. On Wednesday I saw a ladies quilts and she has made some beautiful b/w quilts and just did another b/w with a third color which was sort of a cream/beige color. Personally I liked her b/w ones better.

I just finished this top yesterday.
What do you think, do I need a "Zinger" or not?
Thanxs for your help
Bev
Can you see a couple of blocks that maybe I should change them? Opinions, PLEASE

It's a beautiful quilt but it does need a pop of something and a touch of red would be in order but then, if you like it as is, then keep it such. It is quite striking. nunnyJO

Back to ya. The name of my avatar quilt is "Cowgirl Rose"

Search for it under that name. I purchased the pattern at a shop hop in WV. last summer. Good luck, nunnyJO

I did one of those as well. I think the 3rd color helps with the optical illusion.

I have always wanted to make a black and white quilt with just a touch of red, or aqua, or yellow, or lime green. Then I began acquiring her books and I felt vindicated. They are beautiful with a touch of color. Now, I think it has to be a bright, saturated color to work. Not those drab, greyed Thimbleberry colors.
