Here are some. Are you counting the background as a color if it is white??

I made this one as a quilt-as-you-go. The dark brown lines are the binding strips between individually quilted blocks, the blocks are simply made of 4-patches. It required a design wall to lay out but was fairly simple.

MQ2, I just now found this thread, it was moved from it's original spot. Thank you for that site, I found many quilts like I would love to make. In answer to your question, the two main colors would be shades of hot pink and orange and the background black. I know, I know, what the heck! At my granddaughter's request, her fave is hot pink and her husband's is orange. She also chose the black for the background. Thanks again, Marie

Rebecca_S It is beautiful! Thanks for sharing. Never did a quilt as you go before but I will be starting one with Leah Day soon.

GeeGee, that first site is just what the Dr. ordered, thank you, thank you, thank you! I bought EQ7 for my iMac but it was such a learning curve I boxed it and forgot about it until now. I might give it a go again or just simply use those numbers. Going to try out one block at those dimensions at see if that's what I like.
