Double Irish chain is a classic three color quilt. If you go to the gallery, you can see lots of ideas for this pattern. Go to picture section and click on the first sticky note, then search patterns until you see Irish chain, I think it is on the fourth page.

3 fabrics
you can make many blocks with only 3 fabrics. The basics like a split rail or use three in a nine patch (2 around edge and the third for the center) even make it a D9P for more design choices. You can even do a log cabin with only three. I would do that one as a curve (logs are 2 1/2 and other side is 1 1/2). Try printing out a favorite block in black and white to get a better idea of using only two or three colors. Remember, it is your quilt - use the fabrics you want. I tell my students to start with the fabric that makes you smile and then compliment it.
