Roberta,
Irish Chain is pretty close to the top of the list, however, I really like log cabins, too. I need to make a decision and soon! -- Donna in Idaho "Roberta Zollner" wrote in message ... I love Irish Chain in all its forms, and IMO it looks particularly good in 2 colors. You can do a single chain (9-patch alternating with plain squares) or a double chain in 2 reds. And the plain areas are so wonderful for quilting. Roberta in D "Donna Aten" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ... 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! -- Donna in Idaho |

I love your pink and purple quilt. Wish she would have given me a little
more choice in colors. Her mom & dad said blue, red, & neutrals - I would like that even better than just the red & neutrals, especially for a log cabin. Yep, I knew you had a kid at Texas State, too. -- Donna in Idaho "Sandy Ellison" wrote in message ... Howdy! Simple red w/ neutrals (?): http://tinyurl.com/yty3fp Simple, change the pinks & purples to reds, the lights to neutrals: http://tinyurl.com/2suvfs The Baseball squares give lots of variety. ;-) LogCabins are simple. http://www.vcq.org/specialty%20lesso.../log_cabin.htm Good luck to your granddaughter.

Donna:
I LOVE log cabins. I especially like the off center versions ... with one 'side' made with narrow logs. The result is a quilt with curves! Since you just have two colors for this, I suggest you go with a red that would 'push' into the orange not the blue color neighbor; 'push' scrappy neutrals into a darker tone, one that would have bronze as the next step. Then use that one bronze for the center square in every block. Clear as mud?? PAT PS: I also like the triangles quilt that Ragmop posted.

After all of your wonderful answers - she changed her mind! She found a
quilt on the internet made from Amy Butler Belle fabrics and fell in love with it. So, I've bought 30 fat 8ths, and 6 fat quarters of the Amy Butler fabric. Here's the link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/roseisr...7594090632575/ I'm not going to use muslin for the sashings. I will use a variety of neutrals that will give it a lot more interest, I think. This isn't what I would want for a quilt for me, but she likes it, so that's what she will get! I actually intend to piece the blocks with neutrals on all four sides of the print fabric, so there will be two neutrals between each print block. I will use the various prints to make a scrappy border. She's still debating on the fabric for the back. -- Donna in Idaho |
