How about a potato chip (also called two step)?

I'm going to look that one up. Thanks. I have found that looking for 2 colors often produces only pictures of 2 fabrics, which is a very different look. I'm not that good at looking at a high-contrast quilt and imagining it in various shades of the given colors. It can be very frustrating.

hugs,

Eleanor Burns "Night and Day" or it may be "Day and Night" is a good two color Star quilt.

I, unfortunately, don't have a good picture, but Quilts, Quilts and More Quilts (the sequel to Quilts, Quilts, Quilts) includes a quilt called "Interlocked Squares". I think it's interesting enough that it wouldn't look "cute" even with pinks. I, unfortunately, couldn't find a made up quilt in the pattern on the internet that includes only 2 fabrics. Someone made a multi-fabric version here: http://www.epainke.privat.t-online.de/pailq9.htm

This is a VERY easy quilt but looks amazing. I made it up in a rainbow print with a black, and it was great. The book I mentioned is a classic and is probably available in most, if not all libraries.

That's beautiful. Anne - just the fresh and simple effect I'm looking for

How about a drunkards path... - Missouri Star Quilt Co has an online video tutorial that shows a quick easy way to make a drunkards path quilt using only two colors. I think it would look wonderful.

Annie's Choice would certainly be appropriate! I've just googled it and it's a pretty block. Hmm..

I hadn't heard of the Burgoyne Surround, so have just looked at some pictures, and I like it. I could even go up to 3 colours...
