Here is a link to a site that has a quilt block for each state http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art23676.asp. As far as the colors I think the blue and maize will really look nice once you start making the blocks. I would look for batiks in those colors - unless you've already purchased fabric. I hope you show us your finished work when its done.

I did a queen Yellow Brick Road as a wedding present for a friend in yellows and blues.
I loved it and so did they.
I saw the pattern on line recently, so it's still available and very easy (and forgiving of mistakes)

I had to make a wall hanging for someone using beige and light blue. I also thought the same thing...how boring!! You will just have to look hard to find a focus fabric with your colors with another color to make it seem not so boring. I added a really nice chocolate brown and actually found an unboring beige and light blue fabric. Good Luck...its hard to work with fabrics that are not your favorite colors...

I am going to try to attach a picture of a Michigan log cabin quilt that I made a few years ago. "M" or "wolverine" for the center block and blue and maize for the logs.
