Looks yummy, like someone else noted, butterscotch. Depends on the look you are seeking.

It needs a light or dark sashing, either one would work to make your colors pop. The problem with the brown is that it's too "middle of the road" in terms of both color and intensity. I think a dark color would work best.

Personally, I really like it, the tan makes the colors stand out and makes the quilt serene and cozy.

It looks awesome with the tans in it I think. Great job I have that one on my to do list LOL.

I think black would make it pop.

I think the tan when it touches the same tan in braid disrupts the eye & halts the flow. Another solid color would help & black or red would be my choice. Please post when decided & done! Wanna see!!
