For a two-color quilt, it's best to go to a quilt shop so you can see the actual fabrics side-by-side.

Edit: Or order swatches. Some online shops have a way for you to do that.
That is a very good idea, I really like the batik fabrics. Solids without really looking like solids. Thanks for the suggestions!
