Mkotch, I love your scrappy black and white but I'm not figuring out where the block is. Looking online for the book you mention--there are several with that title. Which one did you use? Beautiful use of scraps!!

I used black and white for a log cabin wedding quilt for a nephew and niece. Still used a chicken red center block to honor the tradition of the fire in the hearth of the home. I did a meander pattern for the quilting but put a heart in each red center block. Wanted this young couple to have a little warm reminder that their heart and love is the center of their new home.

I had a bunch of scraps left over from a DP9 and cut them into the orange peel shape with my accuquilt and plan an orange peel quilt. On my to do list. I did fuse wonder under to the scraps before cutting, makes it much easier to applique to the white charm square. When I get around to it, Accuquilt has the machine embroidery designs that will stitch around the orange peel using my embroidery machine and will buy that then I did a circle one a few years ago and was pleased how it turned out.

I make quilts for our bi-annual family reunions. I generally pick a color, then ask my family members to send me a quarter or half yard of that color. one year I did make a black and white log cabin quilt, which was well received. This year's quilt was a Grandmother's Fan quilt using blue fabrics from the "stash" left over from other quilts. I made a Dresden Plate quilt, which my middle brother won and he told me that I would be hard pressed to make a better quilt. i was absolutely amazed with all the beautiful blue fabrics and it was beautiful if i say so myself. Don now still raves about that quilt, as he won it. There are many quilt patterns that would look good in white and black fabrics.
