I work a lot with B/W about half the time I use a third color. It was hard the first time, but I found it was kind of fun. When I put in the third color I try to put it in a corner. I do it most of the time in a small amt. Just 1 little bit.

I think no matter who we ask questions to re: quilt colors, it really boils down to what we really like. We alsways get these great ideas form the QB and I pay a lot of attention to what everyone says. Some have made many more quilts than I and have a better eye for color. Good luck to you wich way you chose to go, :)

I did a black and white one from a pattern in the nickle quilt book and put in five red and white squares randomly to add a little splash of unexpected color. Turned out great and got lots of good comments.

Of course not! Black and cream or black and white are very dramatic! There is a wonderful world of black and white (or cream) prints out there!
( Did you ever suspect that her bits of zinger colors were her own individual statement?)

I love the zinger color, I'm partial to green, purple or pink. all a personal preferance.

jojosnana,
Thanxs for letting me know about the quilt police. I have been so worried about that. I haven't even opened my curtains, or doors in days, worried they would be out there looking for me.:}

All of you that have put in pictures of your B&W quilts, they are all just beatiful.
When I started this project, I didn't want to do an ordinary quilt with the Red that is always with a B&W, that's why there's no Red in it. Not that I don't like it, I just wanted to make mine "different" from the norm.
I have never been one to walk on the same side of the road as everyone else.
But you sure have givn me some very good ideas, that I am still tossing around in my mind. I just haven't come to a final answer yet. But I haven't given up on ideas, either.
Thanxs again
Bev

I love a deep red with the black and white quilts. Lately, I've been tempted to try a bright lime green.

My bedroom is black, cream, and soft blue. I think black and cream alone would be striking.

I'm going to make a blk. and white quilt for my Dil, after 2 more quilts. They are so stunning and dramatic.
