    What is a good quick pattern for just two fabrics? I have several two color combination fabrics I had bought when I was going to make purses. I thought about making baby quilts out of them since they are about 2 yards of each color.

    I'm watching this one. I want to make a quilt with just black and white and need some ideas. Thanks for creating this topic!

    Isn't the Night and Day quilt two colors only?
    That one is really sharp too :)

    Here is a paper pieced version of it but I didn't see it originally done that way - I saw it on the Quilt in a Day tv show :) I think I saved it for another day....

    Ohio Star is pretty in two colors. Most of your traditional quilt patterns are so pretty in two colors. The peppermint twist pattern is really cute in two colors, it's a four patch with alternating block it looks like an Irish chain. Pinwheels with an alternating block.

    All great ideas. My first thought was Irish Chain. I love antique quilts made with 2 colors- they're awesome :)
