The cover quilt on this book by Nicole Chambers is a beautiful 2-fabric quilt. I've seen it made with one fabric being a print, and it was lovely. I don't know if the pattern is FQ-friendly or not. http://www.amazon.com/More-Simple-Qu...chambers+quilt

I would tell her a two color quilt of colors without contrast will not show the pattern unless a third contrasting color is added. It will be dark with no definition of pattern. If she knows nothing of quilting she should know enough to trust your suggestion. I don't know how creative you can be with two dark fabrics.

Just a curious question: Was your daughter always interested in the things you were making? It was nice of her to buy you fabric for Christmas, but I would have been taken back a bit when she wanted you to use it to make her a quilt seeing as she has never been interested in sewing. I like some of the suggestions others have made and there are books out there for 2 color quilts. Hope you don't take offense to my question.

20 fat quarters work quite well for - Turning 20- quilts- since they use... 20 fat quarters. there are a variety of them now- a book called 'more turning 20' they are fairly easy patterns with no waste- a good choice for a fat quarter bundle with 20 fq's.
