Looking For A Pattern
I'm going to be an Auntie again in less than two months! Yikes! So, as always when it comes to my nieces and nephews, I went overboard. I made Boppy pillow covers, appliqued onesies, receiving blankets, cuddly critter blankets and more. I also bought the stuff to make waterproof bibs, stuffed animals, rice bags and so much more.
But, I haven't started a quilt yet, lol. I'm going to be doing the Super Nine Patch quilts with some owl fabric, but they've also requested a pink ribbon themed quilt. My SIL's mother is a survivor and has been battling breast cancer, on and off again, for about ten years. She was also just diagnosed with lung and bladder cancer. She's still fighting though and a true inspiration. I found some gorgeous pink ribbon fabric at Joann's and some black to go with it. It's very "busy" fabric, though, so I don't want to add a lot of other fabrics with it.
So, my question is, what are some great patterns for baby blankets that require only two fabrics? I might be able to use a tone on tone pink to go with it, but not sure yet, so some three fabric patterns wouldn't hurt, either. For some reason, I've been drawing a blank for a week now, but I've got to get moving.

Hi so sorry about your relative . For a pattern google cancer quilt patterns and look at images and find one you like. Some just have the ribbon design on white other use the fabric. God bless you all.

I'm a bit confused - is the cancer quilt for the baby or for your SIL's mom? Fons and Porter just sent a newsletter that included a link for a download for 2 color quilts - I think it said there were 4 in there. Now is it two quilts you are making or just one....

The simplest 2-fabric quilts I know are 4-patch, 9-patch, and snowball blocks. Sash each block with the darker fabric, or just leave the sashing out and have a great big checkerboard. You can alternate the 9-patch and snowball blocks or alternate solid squares with the snowball blocks.
