Thank you all so much. You have given me so much to think about. There are so many gifted quilters here, not sure that I will ever be able to do such wonderful work, but sure intend to keep trying.

The Hunters Star and Drunkards Path are both nice in two colors.

A touch of a "jewel" color would be pretty.

On Friday someone posted a picture of a black and white, gray and white blocks....it was called Betty's Delight and they found it on Quilter'scache....
It would look great in black and white..
Good Luck.

I'd also look at the PRELUDE pattern from the Ebony & Ivory black-and-white collection. It can be downloaded from online and seems to be easy enough to "convert" from a lap to queen quilt with the addition of borders.

Here's the weblink to Prelude and other black-and-white patterns: http://www.benartex.com/page/ebony-ivory-314.htm

My favorite 2-color block pattern is "Hunter's Star". I also like "Night and Day" by Eleanor Burns.

This link may be helpful for the N and D block or visit E. Burns Quilt in a day website.
