Me too! I just bought a Wild Goose Chase top in red and white - it's really pretty, but the piecer used heavy black thread to piece it on the machine, so the seam ripper and me are going to have to get cozy for a while before I can quilt it.

Here's the Drunkard's Path that I just finished quilting.

Bernie - I just did my first Rail Fence and while checking out different quilts I saw one done in two colors and it was beautiful. I am going to do a two rail next time. It does need striking fabric though.

disregard the last reply not sure what happened there. Any way, your drunkards path is very pretty. Two color quilts rate at the top of favorites for me. The less is more kind of theory. They always look clean and fresh and vintage the way a quilt should look. I love all quilts even the ones that well, are kind of... well, you guys know. Good luck chosing your pattern. Would love to see it when you finish. And, I am sure there was a perfectly good reason why the quilter used black thread?
