Type in black and white quilt in the QB search box and some may come up. An easy one would be Disappearing 9 Patch or the Hanky Panky pattern. What kind of pattern are you looking for, pieced, applique or mixed?

I always see all these wonderful creative quilts and love them, just before I go back to my hodge podge scrappy quilts. Still love seeing them though.

A 3 strip/row rail fence is always an option for a three fabric quilt. If you can use different fabrics in those colors, a string quilt in black and gray fabrics with a red center strip to make the lattice pattern would look great.

I was going to suggest a rail fence also....looks like Jeanne beat me to it! That is a quick quilt to make. A Square within a Square 2 would work too. Let me see if I can find a picture of that one. Here's the block pattern for that. It is also quick to make...not that you asked for that.

Thanks, I've been looking for this pattern. One thing about the QB, you may just be reading a post and bingo, you find a pattern you've been looking for. That would be great in the red, white, and black!

Boy, that is the truth! The quilt I am working on now is a pattern I fell for in the middle of a thread. Glad this was one you have been looking for. (I have prettier examples of that quilt, but I just couldn't find their pictures. The friend who picked out the fabric quilt for this was delighted with it....so what do I know?)

I'm about to start a king size quilt using the offset squares block which is a three colour block. There is also the flying Scotsman which is also a three colour block.
