Sounds like she reads or sees the same things as my granddaughter. I was requested to make she and her finance' decorative pillows for their bed in choclate and fushia. That is the other color that is now "hot" with chocolate brown. Farmer Girl's suggestions sound good.
Good luck!

I have seen many fabric collections in these colors--some modern, retro, some traditional and romantic. Moda has a lot of new fabric with these colors. This color combo can be cooled with green, warmed with rose, or made sharper with white. Here are a couple of collections that include these colors.

Have fun! And please share pix of the quilt when you finish it!

Have you picked a pattern? Are you looking to add other colors? If so, I like a touch of dark yellow (mustard -- brownish gold) along with brown and aqua. I think it makes aqua pop a little brighter --- a whole quilt of just brown and aqua may look a little flat. just my opinion. :)

I saw one done in teals and a chocolate brown background. It was done in this pattern.
