    Default pink & brown, blue & brown

    Are these color combinations still popular? Or are they "dated"?

    I myself love both combinations. Not sure what others may think, but, for me they are timeless.

    I feel they are a little over used. Last quilt show 13 out of 60 quilts were one or the other and people just zoomed by them. Some were very beautiful. The Storm at sea in the pink & brown was glorious. ( I am a judge at several small shows). It did not receive a mention. It really should have been in the top five. I really do not understand peoples attitude towards brown. Is it only in the east? Brown quilts do not seem to do as well as other colors. JMHO

    It doesn't matter as long as the recipient likes the colors. I've made MANY quilts that I can't stand the colors. They were not for me though! Makes them not as fun to put together, but as long as they are loved, it doesn't matter.

    I am not especially fond of those combinations, but then I never have been.

    My daughter likes brown and pink. I would say make what you want and if it is at the quilt shows it must not be too old, or out of style.

    Teal and brown seem to be hot together now. I see lots of that. A thirty something I know chose pink, cream and brown for her baby's nursery. Seemed like an old combo to me, but I found a good number of fabrics that fit her theme.

    I have a new great grand daughter and her mom and dad (my grandson) requested the Pink and Brown, Blue & Browns. They are in fact a young couple so it must be still popular or as aboved mentioned it's a matter of taste and what you like. Myself I like the colors, I also like the teal and browns. I don't think it's out dated as much as how popular is was and possibly still is. Hope that helps.
