I was thinking of a double irish chain, as a very helpful person on this board had suggested. I would want the biggest part of the color to be the green instead of the traditional white, as I know my son, and, well, large areas of white probably won't last long :). I agree the colors are very matchy, but I am so new to quilting that I don't know what to do about it. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. There are two other quilt patterns I am considering - a rail fence and then one another wonderful person sent me a picture of, but I don't know the name.
to ckcowl - what patterns did you use?? I don't care what he uses it for, he said he wanted it for his bed, I just think just green and white is kinda boring and he said a nine patch would be fine, but that all in just those two colors - I do have a plastic picnic table cloth almost just like it in blue.:)
Thank you all for your help. If anyone has better ideas, don't keep them to yourself! Virg
