Suggestions needed . . .

My immediate thought was a cream/red smallish print for the background and
then add reds and neutrals to make whatever pattern appeals to you. If you
go for something simple, the Double or Triple Irish Chain is a good one.
Any of the quilts in the Quilt In A Day series is quick and easy- and you
could draft your own patterns since they are pretty basic blocks. And you
can dress them up with your fabric selections. I'd advise against just
using two fabrics- get a variety of reds and neutrals to spice it up a bit.

My granddaugher will be graduating from college (San Marcos, Texis) in
December if everything goes well!

She would like a quilt made from reds & neutrals. Any suggestions for a
pattern that would look really great with those two colors? Nothing
complicated - I'm a lazy quilter! Right at the moment I'm drawing a
complete blank!

Fabric never goes into my sewing room until it has taken a trip through the
washer and dryer - no matter what color! I was actually thinking of an
Irish Chain as one possibility.

How lazy are you feeling, Donna? There's just nothing as simple as the
Irish Chain and one would be gorgeous in your colors. If we can nudge you
just a little bit further to HSTs, there are, more or less, something like
76 possibilities with the plover set of quilt blocks. I'm not a
card-carrying pre-washing quilter - but for the reds, please do. Polly

I have that pattern - that could be fun with various reds and neutrals. Her
Mom told me she wanted red, blue & neutral which would have been even more
fun, but Talena wants just reds and neutrals.

Congratulations to your granddaughter in advance, a fantastic achievement.

If a very lazy, contemporary design appeals then have a look at

I rather like the effect the red and black has but I'm sure that stitched
in different reds and neutrals it would look quite good.

I've already told Talena that there will not be just two fabrics - there
will be lots!

Maybe you could always sneak a little bit of blue into the sashing (if
you have them)!!

light n dark red and neutral.......Wendy

I'm partial to Scrappy Stars from Bonnie Hunter at quiltville.com
http://www.quiltville.com/starstruck.shtml On the samples at the
bottom of the page there's one in blues and neutrals. Or, you could do
the beige behemoth from Big Horn Quilts.
http://www.bighornquilts.com/inspira.../behemoth.html
One nice thing about that one is that no two blocks are the same so
you certainly won't get bored with it. A bunch of us are plugging away
at it. One person in our group is doing it in reds.

I would suggest a pattern that resembles a large
dick and balls. She will probably be getting many after
college. I know i did.
