I am looking for a pattern that uses only two fabrics... one light and one dark... I found the most beautiful fabric that I just had to have. It also did not hurt that it was only a $1.00 a yard :D :shock: I bought 5 yards of the white with periwinkle print and 5 1/2 yards of the dark periwinkle print. They are coordinating.. Any help Please???

Quilters caches has a ton for two colors :lol: And they have pics to show you what they look like ! LOL
|
Hugs and Kisses is an easy and very effective 2-color pattern. Check it out at quilterscache.com
|
I second the Hunter's Star. While going through my stash recently, I found two sets of two that I have now set aside for Hunter's Star.
|
Check out the tutorial for Disappearing 4-Patch. Be sure to scroll through all of the pages to see a sample of the 2-color version.

I can recommend the Klondike Star at quilterscache.com. It was far easier than it looked.
|
For those with Adult ADHD....the two color versions of the disappearing 4patch are on page 6...very pretty too :D

You don't mention skill level, but this one is great if you're looking for simple:
http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-55378-1.htm I put the cutting directions on page 2 or 3. Darren |
How about Eleanor Burns Day and Night. That is awesome! Sue

http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-55378-1.htm Darren You make a total of 24 blocks that are 12.5 x 12.5. From each of your 2 fabrics (A and B) cut the following: 12 squares @ 8.5 x 8.5 24 strips @ 8.5 x 2.5 24 strips @ 12.5 x 2.5 Frame the Fabric A squares with Fabric B strips, and the Fabric B squares with Fabric A strips. Sew your blocks into rows, alternating A blocks and B blocks. This one doesn't really need a border since the blocks are bordered, but you can put one if you want to. Darren |

Here is a picture of the fabrics.. Thank you to everyone for your help!
The darker fabric looks a little blue but it is the coordinating to the other [ATTACH=CONFIG]114397[/ATTACH] |
Good luck--like your fabric choices.

Eleanor Burns has a great book called Day & Night. You can use either 2 or 3 colors.
|
Friendship Star is a good one.

Anyone considering the Hunter's Star should check out the tutorial given on this Board. Done with strip piecing and NO templates. Am doing one using her method right now. Very easy. I think the lady was from Russia. Here's the link. http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-50608-1.htm

I am working on a drunkard path, but arranging the block in a different way. It is like the log cabin, there seems to be no end to the ways it can be arranged.
