A rail fence would look terrific in high-contrast colors like black and white. You could really go nuts and make the center rails of different fabrics that reflect his interests, then put on narrow rails of black and white.

Sound like this will be fun to make!

I think just about any quilt will be nice in black and white. I have made a "Turning Twenty" ,a "Yellow Brick Road" and a "Tossed Nine Patch" all in black and white. They are all easy and fast to make. Please post pictures when you get it done.

I like my tossed 9 patch--Quick and easy and looks sharp when done.


Here's a pic during planning. (It is in the process to be sandwiched/quilted.)

I did a Pinwheel once in Back/White and boy it made me dizzy. LOL The recipient loved it though. Let us know what pattern you decide on.

Love Ya Bunches
