Two Color Block Suggestions Please!
I am making a quilt top for a group challenge. The assignment is to
use the provided fabrics and make a top. Since the provided fabrics are blues, with a nice color range, I am thinking of making scrappy blocks keeping the values but not the fabrcis constant. This might be Log Cabin--so many fun ways to set them! Or something else which calls for high contrast. Suggestions are welcome and even encouraged! Thanks, Mary |

Two Color Block Suggestions Please!
Do you know how to go back to the 8/6 posts? Donna asked about making a
quilt with sort of two colors - her challenge had to do with only red + neutral which is similar to what you're planning. Look for 'Suggestions needed'.

The complimentary colors to blues are yellow/oranges. That would certainly
be striking. I've also seen many gorgeous 2 color quilts using white and dark blues... or baby blues and dark blues. -- Kate in MI http://community.webshots.com/user/K_Groves * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * "Mary in Rock Island IL" wrote in message ...

I think the scrappy star that someone posted a few days ago could be the
nicest scrappy I've seen - and it is perfectly straightforward. It was from the quiltville.com site. I'. sure it could be done with 'values'. Also, I think Virginia Reel or Snail Trail is a good two-colour block. .. In message , Mary in Rock Island IL writes I am making a quilt top for a group challenge.

If it was my project, I would be adding yellows or oranges. However, I am mostly to use what is provided. So it will be dark v. light blues. Mary |

I have a scrappy Storm at Sea on the mental back burner. Would look great in
blues. You need some distinct light, medium and dark. Roberta in D "Mary in Rock Island IL" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ... I am making a quilt top for a group challenge.
