solid color
#22
I like to use solids. They make a very fresh look. I would take your grandson with you and let him select the right colors. Then he will be happy and you will be too. I made quilts for four friends, and I had each select their fabric and the pattern. That way I knew each would like their quilt, and they did. It also involved them more and we all had fun in the fabric store.

I love, love, love solid colors. I'm also a scrappy quilter so I always use a lot of solids in each quilt (I have a large solid fabric stash).....usually with a solid background. I'm very partial to white as a background as I use really bright colors and they do pop off the white. I don't think fabric for a 2 color solid quilt should be any harder to pick than say for a 2 color floral.

I've worked with solids. The problem I had was that I did not buy enough of the solid fabric I was using. So, when I bought some more, it was not the same color lot. I did not notice until I finished it and hung it up on the wall. Actually, I liked the effect of the color being off very slightly. Give more depth to it. So if you need more fabric, check the color lot.
