posts_per_page Not working

    I am trying to get posts_per_page to work, and it is not limiting my query for 2 sticky posts to be listed. Any ideas on what is wrong?

    <div id="center">
        <ul class="feat-post">';
        query_posts('posts_per_page= 2');
          if (have_posts()) {
            while (have_posts()) : the_post();
              if ( is_sticky() ) :
                echo '<li><div class="featImage">';
                the_post_thumbnail("featImage");
                echo '</div><h1><a href="';
                the_permalink();
                echo '">';
                the_title();
                echo '</a></h1></li>';
              endif;
            endwhile;
          }
          wp_reset_query();
    echo '</ul></div>;

    Any ideas on how to fix this?

    I figured it out.

    instead of using posts_per_page, I used the following,

    /* Get all Sticky Posts */
$sticky = get_option( 'sticky_posts' );

/* Sort Sticky Posts, newest at the top */
rsort( $sticky );

/* Get top 5 Sticky Posts */
$sticky = array_slice( $sticky, 0, 5 );

/* Query Sticky Posts */
$query = new WP_Query( array( 'post__in' => $sticky, 'ignore_sticky_posts' => 1 ) );

    now my code looks like this and works flawlessly

    <div id="center">
        <ul class="feat-post">';
        /* Get all sticky posts */
        $sticky = get_option( 'sticky_posts' );

        /* Sort the stickies with the newest ones at the top */
        rsort( $sticky );

        /* Get the 5 newest stickies (change 5 for a different number) */
        $sticky = array_slice( $sticky, 0, 2 );

        /* Query sticky posts */
        query_posts( array( 'post__in' => $sticky, 'caller_get_posts' => 1 ) );
          if (have_posts()) {
            while (have_posts()) : the_post();
              if ( is_sticky() ) :
                echo '<li><div class="featImage">';
                the_post_thumbnail("featImage");
                echo '</div><h1><a href="';
                the_permalink();
                echo '">';
                the_title();
                echo '</a></h1></li>';
              endif;
            endwhile;
          }
          wp_reset_query();
    echo '</ul></div>
