    Why not some sort of fall quilt pattern. It would make a very nice quilt for a man also. If you check my quilter2theend avatar, it is done in browns, beiges, orange and whites. I like ScrappyAZ's idea too. There are many patterns you could choose from, let us know what you decide to do. If you go to www.allpeoplequilt.com there is a project called Maple Leaf Log Cabins with instructions you can print out.

    These are all wonderful ideas but the Pinwheels and Patches is just breathtaking!

    Fat cat patterns has a BOM that just started for owls. It uses lots of brown & other solids. I've started it but have electrified the colors for my GD who is 4 & just loves owls! Hopefully that will still be the case when this quilt is finished.

    Add golds and oranges to make fall quilts.

    The Patches and and Pinwheels is gorgeous.. You can also use the browns/beiges with civil war patterns and make a gorgeous kaleidoscope with them. The Farmer's wife quilt uses a lot of browns too,; the sashing is brown. Brown with Navy blue, beige, gray, with a sprinkle of red or orange is beautiful too. I think you can have fun with this if you mix a stir.

    Projest Linus is always looking for boys quilts in "masculine" colors. You know, male colors are always so limited.
