That sounds great!

Two friends made very nice black and white quilts from a sampler pattern . I believe it was from Quilt Blocks Galore.
One added some red to the quilt and it looked very good.

I forgot to mention in my previous reply that I have made a couple of table runners in b&w in a zigzag that I really like.

I had a lot of black and white fat quarters. I have a quilt top made - all with double triangle square (I think that's what it's called). Everyone loves the black and white together. I did not use a third color.

There is a free pattern called "Wickedly Easy Quilt." The directions include baby, lap, twin and queen instructions. It is written for use with fat quarters and there is very little waste.

I have black and white fabric collected and I'm going to make a 15x15 crazy patch block with a cranberry center my friend made one and it's gorgeous

There is a booklet called "Turning Twenty" that makes up lovely with fat quarters. It takes 20, of course. It is easy to make. It would showcase your beautiful black and white fabrics. I had a class from Pepper Cory who was making a black and white quilt and she used some purple, teal, and red in it. Very pretty.

I made a b/w after wanting to for years - I did it with a variety of 20 different star blocks - tried to be sure to use each fabric three times and it was so much fun - putting it together was the problem as I wanted to connect with sashing that didn't shout - finally found a tiny circle print of black on white and it was perfect. Since then I saw another done all in B/w but the quilter appliqued huge preprinted poppies in a few places - Good luck!
