I need help!
I have just started a quilt for a wedding in May. The daughter of your next door neighbors in NC. I have everything cut into 2 1/2" strips. My problem is I am really frustrated with how the blocks are coming out. The piecing of the blocks is just torture, I am not enjoying it at all.
So my problem is - do you know of a quilt that uses just 2 1/2" strips/jelly rolls in just two colors?
I am really having a hard time with this. She is a very special person to us and I really want to enjoy making this quilt for. She is one of those people that is so appreciative that you are happy to turn over all of your hardwork because you know that it will loved and appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I just saw a really cute two colour quilt yesterday.

It looks like a lot of work but after reading the directions, I think it would be fun. It's on my bucket list.

I Googled to find some options. How about a two-color Irish Chain?

Since everything is already cut into strips, you might want to get additional fabric for the centers.
Here's another option, which would be really easy:

Here are zigzag and lover's knot possibilities (free patterns):

A rail fence is super-easy and could look great in two colors:

And here is a modern design in two colors:

Ginger - Hot Flash is a real possibility
Prism99 - I had not even thought about a rail fence or any of its variations.
This is the pattern that I pulled together in EQ7 -

I am having problems with the inverted diamond blocks.

Jrhboxers--I saw that pattern in a Fons and Porter magazine and they also featured it one one of their programs. I am in love with that pattern and will someday do it for myself. Do you have the pair of rulers to do the diamond shaped pieces? I got mine at my not-so-local-QS (80 km away) but found it here:

And also on the F and P website: https://www.shopfonsandporter.com/pr...ic-and-notions
Altho I said I loved the design, it looks very very labour intensive.
