Need to decide what pattern to use for a two tone..
#3
I've learned this lesson fast: it depends on how big of project are you planning? An appropriate block needs to fit both scale and design wise. You don't want a block to get lost or overwhelm a quilt and true the two tones are of major consideration either way, but first things first. You can always scale a pattern to fit, but some are naturally inclined to a particular size. I mean you don’t want to make a triple Irish and miss the pattern making a tiny quilt. You might also want something graphically strong since you are working with only two colors.
I'm fairly new at this so I might be totally off on the observation.

HI Diamonds! What beautiful fabrics. Would you maybe consider throwing a soft cream fabric? Either way, with just two (or three) colors, your design load will have to be carried by the intricacy of the block rather than a mass of color.
A larger sized block which allows for a variety of components (large and small) would be the direction I'd go..with maybe a sashing thrown in and a wide border of one color (which would give you a chance to show off some fancy quilting patterns!!) good luck, and be sure to keep us posted.
