I am desperate for a pattern for these two fabrics chosen by my great niece. Nothing "POPS" into my head as it normally does when I see fabric. Any photos or pattern names for two color quilts would be greatly appreciated.

The butterflies would be beautiful fussy cut in attic windows.

You could add a yellow and a yellow/blue print and make a warm wishes with the butterfly fabric as the focus block. Love the butterflies.

You can try Night & Day from quilterscache.com

I really love both these fabrics, but they are so similar in color and value that any 2-color pattern will really not show up very well. I think all the pieces will just blend together. Can you add a third fabric, maybe that very, very pale blue (or am I seeing a really, really pale purple in there?) and maybe a little bit of navy to match the thin lines in the one on the left? With the additional colors a larger array of patterns would be possible.

try this i just found

I agree with PaperPrincess that the two colors are too close in both value and color. For only a two color quilt, you should have more contrast. I bet the GN would be happy if these are the two pre-dominant fabrics in the quilt but do suggest that you add a higher contrast fabric.

What about the disappearing 9 patch? Agree with others, colors are really close, but this might do it.

Try a pattern called "Four Fun" by Mountainpeek Creations. Its strip pieceing and done in different sizes of four patches. It makes a great quilt and is fast and easy.
|
whatever you decide,they're beautiful fabrics.
|
There is definately a little purple swirling through the butterfly fabric. I like all your suggestions so I think I will probably take my fabric to a LQS and see what I might find to match. Keep the ideas coming!
|
This is a cute and easy pattern.
|
I love the blue butterflies..very pretty
|
If she only wants the two fabrics, I would fussy cut the butterflies & use the other fabric for sashing around them.
|
That is a good idea, I will have to check about the addition of fabric.
Thank you. |
I think I would make a Drunkaeds Path from this. It is beautiful. Marvel
