I have two batik fabrics that I really really like. they are the same colors, but one is a lighter medium shade and the other is dark. They are purples which is my favorite. But I can't come up with a pattern I really like for just two colors. I don't want something really complicated, nor something very simple and would prefer not to add any more fabrics. any suggestions on what blocks/patterns would be good for just two fabrics?
Thanks!!!

I'm doing a dp4 that looks pretty cool with 2 colors

I'm doing a d4p with lots of colors but can see how it would look with just two--stunning! I agree with David, go for it.

Irish Chain? It would look nice and the batiks would give it a modern twist on an old favorite!

Snail's Trail will work with 2 colors.

I searched for the dp4, but not sure how I could do that with two colors? anybody have pictures of this done, or partially done? I'm having a hard time picturing it.

Thanks!!!

What about just straight pinwheels... Or that 10-minute block...?

This pattern from Quilter's Cache works well with 2 colors.

Burgoyne surrounded, hunter's star and crossed canoes are all wonderful two color quilts.

Pinwheel is my favorite block, but if the shades are close, you might not have enough contrast for you to really see that they are pinwheels.
