Well, Dina, navy and white will be just gorgeous. If you don't have enough stash for yardage of ONE fabric, how about a navy and white quilt of many prints in those same colors. This gives the same effect as using just 2 different fabrics but adds the dimensions of depth, movement, and interest. I've done many quilts this way. Will see if I can find pics of some.

The hearts uses one background fabric and several reds/pinks for the hearts.
The purple uses one fabric for background and four purples for the blocks.
