Have you thought about making a Chevron design? I made a turq./white Chevron quilt for a best friend for her Christmas present- turned out beautiful even if I did make it. She loves it, and turq. is her favorite color. You might consider the Chevron design.

I have about a million quilt books and last night I was looking at one: Sew Quick Two-Color Quilts. One of the quilts is called "Butterfly at the Crossroads" and is made with red and black fabrics. It is a fancy Bear's Claw. There are many quilts in this book: Burgoyne Surrounded. Old Maid's Puzzle, Ocean Waves, Double 9 Patch.

Everyone keeps talking about a 2 fabric quilt.......I thought she gave you TEN red/black prints. Are the prints all the same? I've seen many red/black quilts without white that looked great. Good Luck.

To start with, my sweet grown DD does not sew, does not quilt, nothing involving sewing. She kept asking me for suggestions for Christmas. So finally, one of the things I mentioned was fabric. I told her I could never have too much fabric, and it might be interesting to see what she would pick out. Boy oh boy, was that a mistake! She went to Joanne's and bought 20 fat quarters - 10 red/black print, 10 solid black. When I opened it, she was so happy for me to see it, and asked me if I could make a quilt out of it. I thought a bit, then told her that yes, I was sure I could, and that I might add in another fabric, thinking of white or even a white/black print, thinking of a Disappearing Nine Patch. OH NO! She wants no other fabric in the quilt. She said she did not care what size it is, but she wants no other fabric included, unless it is more of the exact same. So as I said, NOW what do I do? Sure would love to have your suggestions. And to top it all, it's not the best quality fabric. Grrrrrr!
Can you lay the fabrics out and show her where an additional fabric might come in handy?
Tehn on the other hand, you can do as she asks and then post a disclaimer to it.
