Go have a look at the fabrics a couple of the gals are using for their two color quilt projects. Yummy, yummy. By the way, a couple of people have inquired if the two color project can be something other than a bed quilt. Of course! Anything goes. Pillows, tote bags, table toppers, table runners--whatever your heart desires and your imagination comes up with. If you don't have a blog, but want to play along, just send me a photo of your progress from time to time and I will post it on my blog. Let's go wild!
Check my side bar for links to those people who are playing along who do have blogs--even if you catch them on a day when they are not talking about the two color quilt challenge, you will be inspired and entertained by what they are up to, I promise.
Susan is going with red and white, and incorporating some red work embroidery. This is going to be stunning! I cannot wait to see what pattern she uses.
Andrea has some sweet and soft light blues and creams for her version.
I made progress yesterday with the center sections of my Union Square blocks. It was fun to fussy cut the toile to feature some of the motifs.
Nicoe: Your blocks are looking great! I can't wait to see how the challenge turns out. I wish I could joing along. I'm backed up quilt-wise with deadlines so I can't add another project. Maybe next time.
Is Ozzie stil in the dog house?

I love your blocks. The fabric of your outside triangles adds a lot of interest.

I'm going to do the Two Color challenge- it will give me a reason to keep working on the one that I've already started (and desperately want to finish by July!)
I've already blogged about it here:
