I have a lot of nice black, white & red fabric. I am having a devil of a time trying to decide on a quilt pattern for this. I thought maybe some of you might have some ideas. I will be making a queen size quilt.
I enjoy reading your posts. Pat

Do you mean one fabric that's got black, white, and red in it, or three fabrics - one black, one white, and one red, and is it/are they solids or prints?

With such good contrasts, perhaps you would consider making the quilt with various blocks, all made up with half-square-triangles. There are many which can be done in this way, and the effect would be stunning. Yes, I do mean no other pieces but half-square triangles. Oh, I can picture it now ... ... .

I saw one just yesterday in an old edition of Quilter's Newsletter. A quilter had chosen her squares so that the almost white prints were across the top and then she sorted them by value (?) until the nearly black ones were at the bottom. She called it Day into Night. IMHO, black and white prints are so dazzling that a complex quilt block pattern would be wasted effort; I think I'd just go with small squares and let it happen. Polly

How about a Disappearing Nine Patch!
No I have a lot of different fabrics. Mostly prints
I think just about any pattern would look good in red, white, and black, but then I'm kind of partial to that color scheme. Actually, my first thought was log cabin, but here are some I found when I did a search. In some cases, you have to scroll down the page to find the RW&B quilt. You also might want to do a search for red, white, and blue quilts (planning to substitute black for the blue, of course!).
We did a stack and whack with black and white patterned fabrics a few years ago - we used some odds and ends of the fabrics to make a bargello panel in the middle. There were some thin and very bright coloured accents (like the border around the bargello panel) and the quilting was in bright colours. Worked very well in a mostly white modern bedroom.

I just finished this one and am sooooooo happy with it. I used 9 different red/white and black/white fabrics and stippled it all over. For just my 3d quilt, it came out really good I think and was easy and fun to put together. It would easily expand to any size you want.
I actually have one of these in my 'to do' pile. Picked up fabrics in Lancaster PA a couple of months ago and a very nice, new shop there. The pattern was originally done for civil war fabrics but I liked the pattern so much I adapted it to the red/white/black scheme. As soon as I can find my sewing room, I'll dig out the pattern and let you know what it is. I think the pattern is basically a lap size, but I'm sure it could be adapted with simply adding more blocks. Give me a day or 2...

Howdy!
Any 3-color quilt, in various shades.
Check out Maple Island Quilt patterns. They have two patterns that are really fantastic in black/white/red. I made the Yikes pattern in those colors, and their BQ pattern in Dutch wax blues with solid blue and white batiks. The BQ would also be striking in the black/white/ red combination..

Here's one I made a few years ago: . The pattern is a free one I found online: . It's pretty easy to do, but it helps a lot to have a 60-degree ruler.

My initial reaction was "my god that quilt wants to eat me".
Stunning.
