thank you! I was trying to remember the name of that pattern. One of my first thoughts, as well.

Just goggled Rolling Waves and it is a nice pattern. I went to the link in the 2nd thread above and like this quilt. Is it Rolling Waves?

On The Quilt show email I received today, Sue Garman is working on the neatest two color quilt. I sent her a message to see if she sells the pattern. No response yet. I really like it.

Just posted a picture of Sue Garman's quilt she is working on. Post disappeared. Guess I shouldn't have done that. Anyways, she replied to me already with a nice email. She does not have the pattern for sale yet since she is still working on it. She told me to follow her blog as she posts at the beginning of the month and will have 2or3months left to finish it. It is a really nice 2 color quilt.

I just love 2 fabric quilts - they are so dramatic and striking, and usually look very modern, too. Here's a quilt I designed after an 'unrecoverable' cutting mistake. It has three fabrics if you count the accent border and the binding.

I've since made two more bigger quilts like this. It works great with a large print or a medium sized all over print. This particular one is one of my favorite 'I made this!' quilts.

A large block chevron quilt will be nice, too, and pretty easy to make.

For more of a challenge, the bear paw one looks good in two colors and for a real challenge, Evelyn Sloppy's "Entwined" will keep you busy for quite awhile.

[QUOTE=janecat;7403971]Besides Irish Chain, do you have suggestions for blocks/patterns for a 2-color quilt?

I have several yards of 2 specific fabrics, and I would like to make a quilt just from those 2 fabrics (even though my personal taste leans toward Bonnie Hunter scrap-ish types of quilts).

Try Deb Tucker's Hunters Star!! It is spectacularly beautiful with 2 colors, and using her rulers, it is a SNAP to put together, and NO "Y" SEAMS!!....check out pictures of variations (there are several) with 2 colors on her website.

I made two quilts Illusion in two fabrics. They had more than two colors, my best choice.
