OKAY, I have a confession to make... I really had my heart set on the brown/blue combo but couldn't find anything that looked right. I started to panic. Picking fabrics is harder than any other part of quilting for me. So, I found two blue batiks on the connecting threads website. There is the same amount of contrast b/w the blues (one dark, one light) as b/w the red and pink in the original. I ordered the fabrics this afternoon. I have to make the quilt quickly as my aunt is coming down on June 17th. The pattern is rather simple so it should come together quickly. I have saved the brown/blue combo for a different quilt that is on my to do list. Thanks for all the input. I really appreciate it. I will post pix when it is done

I am obviouslsy in the minority...but I do not like blue and brown together even though it is the new "in" color combination. Have you thought of blue with a deeper blue and/or lighter blue??? What about a blue and yellow combination---that always reminds me of a cottage look.

How about love in other languages, amore, amor, if you want to go that way?
