    Default Three fabric quilt!

    Anyone have a pattern for using only three fabrics in a quilt?

    BQ and BQ2 by Mable Island require only 3 fabrics. If you do an advance search, I know there have been pictures posted here. It is also a very simple pattern.

    I just ran into one when looking for jelly roll quilts. Lover's Knot by Eleanor Burns - they have a book of it at Joann's.

    This is my 3-fabric quilt. It's a lover's knot.... in red, white, and blue.

    I just finished one. Let me see if I can find a picture. I don't have a pattern though, but it is sort of easy to figure out. It is made of four patches, half square triangles, and a focus fabric.

    Nanna--that is a lovely quilt (and a great picture! I want to crawl in there and take a nap. ). I just ordered a book of three-fabric patterns, but it hasn't arrived yet. The author's last name is Weiner.

    Eleanor Burns, Day and Night quilt. It can be made with two or three fabrics. But you have to buy the book to get the special ruler to make the quilt.
