I bought 20 black and white fat quarters and now I need to find a project ..You all have such wonderful ideas so I would love some suggestions...Thanks

Turning twenty-?
|
hunter's star is a great two color quilt
|
Great question as my DD has requested a black and white quilt - I don't think that she means a solid black and a solid white though. Are your fat quarters prints of black and white?
|
Any 2 color block should be striking in black and white.

Disappearing nine patch?????????? |
I just finished the top to a D9P in black white and threw in the color green to add something. The corners were in light grean or white, the center was green and the other 4 squares were black. I came out stunning. I am not a black and white person but I loved it.

3-6-9 quilt, I just did one in black and white for my niece for Christmas
|
I'm thinking of getting black and white and some red and doing a quilt with Northern Star blocks. Or maybe pinwheels
|
Log cabin with a red fire in middle very traditional.
|
Thinking Outside the Block log cabin is awesome for black and whites with a third color thrown in. Or the 10 minute block, again with a third color.
|
How about doing a "search" on this board for black and white. Many show up. Also, add red or green with the black and white search. I have a few book marked.

If you don't want to get away from the black and white, what about a good deep gray for an additional color--------------tone on tone if you could find it.
|
This is just a basic rail fence out of all kinds of black and white prints with random bright color triangles appliqued on. If she is up for a bit of color, this might be fun.

I saw a string quilt that used black and white and it was beautiful!!!
|
the fat quarters I purchased are printed half black on white other half white on black thanks for the great suggestions so far.
|
x's and o's....it's on the missourie star quilt site

I did a turning twenty from one of her later books. I used all greys with just one red block, for my DGS. I love the way it turned out. I have been collecting black/whites too. Don't know yet what I will do with them. Am thinking of adding something out of the box (for me), purple, orange, or green for just a touch of color.
|
I made a black & white winding ways quilt and loved how it turned out.
|
I can tell you what NOT to do. I just made a crazy black and white, and a dash of red. No one except me likes it. It did get a honorable mention in a quilt show, and the critque complimented me on the choice of fabrics. It was also ripped apart by a gentleman at the state fair, saying it was the uglist quilt he had ever seen. Just saying. It has 64 different black and white and 11 red.
|
Ten minute blocks work up beautifully with red centers!

I made for someone in the Boomeang 8 Sapphires group a black and white block with a bit of green. Bento box pattern. I think it is very nice and going to make a quilt for my daughter using the same colours. It is so fast to sew up. Just take a look on the web for the pattern and lots of pictures:)[ATTACH=CONFIG]370454[/ATTACH]

If they are all different - do a Sudoku quilt. I made a lap quilt for my niece-- one of the fat quarters had a little pink in it so I used some pink as an inner border and then black as the outside. On the back I used the leftover fat quarters as they were and just had big blocks using black rick rack to hide the seams --- she loved it!
|
Raggiemom,
love this! I will be copying this idea. thank you for sharing! |
Show Me Your Fat Quarters And I'll Show You Mine by Grizzly Gulch. Then add a pop of color around the three focus blocks and for the outer border.
|
eleanor burns fabric frenzy is really easy and comes out looking difficult
makes a beautiful quilt |
i've always wanted to make the yellow brick road quilt
|
Use the black and white as backgrounds and machine applique your maple leaves in fall colors on it. That would be amazing to see finished.
|
wow love all the suggestion but I like Pink Lady I found some nice yellow and think I may try a block and see how it looks.

My GD made a Square in a Square with different B/W prints and a different color of Moda Marble Swirls in the center each block. It turned out great for a first quilt - or for any quilt.

I am doing a black and white Dresden Plate on a Berry background.
|
The Turning Twenty books are great and you use 20 fat quarters for them. I made a black and white quilt out of half square triangles. No pattern necessary. All different prints. I hope you meant your quarters were different patterns and not solid.
|
I forgot to mention that I love the quilt that raggiemom showed. It's beautiful.
|
Love this one you made! I saw free pattern for black/white at Walmart...if I had grabbed it I would copy/email to you!
|
Have made three black and white quilts... with just a small amount of red here and there..... not much red... it just gives the quilts a lift...
|
What about adding a little red and doing a log cabin???
