    Ditto. So many pretty beiges out there. If you do nothing more than large block of patterned beige batiks.

    There are so many shades and by themselves they may seem blah, but when you start putting them together they will sparkle & look great. Visit my picture posts & find the sandhill cranes quilt, all of the star blocks are in beige fabrics!

    Maybe a Bargello? I did one with lots of beige, though there is also brown. Or I did one with a Take Five pattern in beige....though there is some brown too.

    Just in case either picture sparks an idea for you...

    Do a google image search on Neutral Quilts. Lots of variation. You can sneak in a few muted pastels too.

    My daughter also loves beige, so I am making her a double wedding ring quilt with lighter beige and darker beige fabrics to create contrast between the rings. Some of the beiges are Japanese fabrics with texture.

    There's some really pretty ones in beige tonal. Here's one that was recently posted in the picture section here on the board.Good luck with whatever you decide.
