I've always enjoyed combining two different blocks in a quilt to produce secondary patterns.
Here's a quilt I made in 1986 using two different blocks:
My son named it "Orchestral Maneuvers at Dawn" --- does anyone else remember the 1980s band named OMD?
I decided I wanted to reinvent the quilt using the same two blocks, but in a different setting and using entirely different fabrics.
These are the same two blocks in current fabrics that I'm working with:
And, a glimpse of the different setting:
I'm moving right along and almost have the top pieced.
Stay tuned for the completion of the quilt!
More of the two-block quilts I have made over the years are included in my books:

I remember that band! Your quilt looks like fun in that new fabric and new setting. I'll be looking forward to seeing the end result!
Two block quilts are always fun. The secondary designs a great surprise! Looking forward to the finale of this 2nd quilt!
