Add pink!! I love pink and brown together! In fact I have nearly finished a pink/brown/cream quilt today and I love it! I don't have pics yet, but it is pink/brow/cream w/pink/brown flowers and brown with pink flowers in a rail fence design and I love it! I'll get pics up when I can.

Trade or sell some of it. That way you won't have to sew a quilt that you don't like the color of. There's a lot of people that would love to add to their brown assortment.

I loved seeing all of the pictures! Gorgeous stuff . . . Jean has a good point about committing yourself to something that you won't really enjoy the colors of . . . If I am not happy with what I am doing, it is more chore-like, and then I don't want to do it!! ;0)

A lone star done in shades of brown would be beautiful with maybe one light color in it somewhere

Wow! That's a beautiful quilt and I don't like brown very much.

I am not enammered with brown but I need to do something with these. Does anyone have any patterns to suggest to use up this mountain of fabric. I am not apposed to adding other fabric to this but I want to use mostly these fabrics. By the way they are all solid colors.

Thank you for any help you can give me.

I wanted to make the Chinese Windows pattern as a duvet for myself, but couldn't find enough graduated rust-to-browns to do it. There is a photo at www.artgalleryfabrics.com.
