The awesome thing about quilting is that there are so many options and variations available to us, regardless of skill level. You can take any pattern in 2 colors and change it up by using many fabrics and shades of the 2 colors rather than just the 2 original fabrics and it will still be beautiful and striking. This is a great way to use up scraps too! I saw a quilt, here on the board I think, that was amazing. It had 2 colors, scrappy, and was stars set in an Irish Chain. The stars were sampler, each different, and scrappy. The background was offwhites and pale neutrals, also scrappy. The chain was done with darks of the main color, but scrappy. I just loved it. I am thinking it may have been a blue and white/neutral but am not sure.
