I forgot to mention - I have done the Turning Twenty but I was nowhere near as happy with it as I was with the Turning Twenty Again and the Yellow Brick Road tops.

I am wanting to do a b/w quilt and thought of using the Carpenter Square. I also wanted to add a color, red. I gave thought to placing a sash the length of the quilt or perhaps the width. What do you think? Could anyone help me. Thanks

I just finish my third black and white quilt, I chose the pattern dancing with the stars pattern, if you don't have it I can send the pattern to you odello

I just finished a yellow brick road in black & white and love it. I put a 2 inch border of bright red around it, followed by a plain, wider black border. I've gotten complements on it. Good luck.

The Wickedly Easy quilt would look great with black and white and another bright color. |
someone posted a pattern that comes to my mind, I think it was like Stack N Slice, using FQ. I was pretty and looked easy.
|
what about twisted spool? that would allow for 2 prints and white on white. then you could put a border of a color then border of black or black and white.
i made it recently using colors and got four spools from each set of coordinating fat quarters. |
My plan someday is to make a drunkard's path in black and white. I have been looking at different configurations but haven't decided which one. Everything goes with black but I like the cripness of black and white together.

And I want to add another color to it as well but I haven't decided if I should get a bunch of different fat quarters in that color (when I finally decide) or if I should just buy some yardage. Other than Red, which is definitely an option, what other color looks great? Thank you all for the help yet again.
