Please help me choose a two color quilt pattern.

I am desperate for a pattern for these two fabrics chosen by my great niece. Nothing "POPS" into my head as it normally does when I see fabric. Any photos or pattern names for two color quilts would be greatly appreciated.

I really love both these fabrics, but they are so similar in color and value that any 2-color pattern will really not show up very well. I think all the pieces will just blend together. Can you add a third fabric, maybe that very, very pale blue (or am I seeing a really, really pale purple in there?) and maybe a little bit of navy to match the thin lines in the one on the left? With the additional colors a larger array of patterns would be possible.

I agree with PaperPrincess that the two colors are too close in both value and color. For only a two color quilt, you should have more contrast. I bet the GN would be happy if these are the two pre-dominant fabrics in the quilt but do suggest that you add a higher contrast fabric.
