My daughter also loves beige, so I am making her a double wedding ring quilt with lighter beige and darker beige fabrics to create contrast between the rings. Some of the beiges are Japanese fabrics with texture.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!

I love the Japanese fabrics and my heart almost races looking at their quilt shows.
loving kentucky life and working for airplane tickets to fly to san diego lots and lots
There's some really pretty ones in beige tonal. Here's one that was recently posted in the picture section here on the board.Good luck with whatever you decide.

Go to the Martingale website www.shopmartingale.com and look at 3 books that highlight neutrals (although some have some dark in them). Spotlight on Neutrals, Knockout Neutrals and Modern Neutrals. I you click on the see more images (sometimes it takes me 2 clicks) you will see all of the quilts in the book which might give you some ideas and if you really like one and can't figure it out you can order - even ebook so you have it right now. In fact the Curved Log Cabin in Neutrals mentioned above is in one of them.
While this is a more costly approach, why not consider a comination of ombre fabrics and some hand dyed...then a "pop" fabric or two, still in the beige family, dropped into the layout to create a bit of visual drama?
Ditto for me. There was a picture of a Log Cabin here recently done in light ecru colors that I found stunning. I want to make a table runner for a friend's daughter for her wedding (under photos?). I was told that the brides color are pink and champagne. I need 8 fabrics of difference in value for the pattern to work. This is going to be a challenge.
A Good Friend, like an old quilt, is both a Treasure and a Comfort
Pat Wys has two neutral books with great quilt patterns in them. They may be the ones that quiltstringz suggested. The titles sound familiar. One that I remember is a beautiful neutral log cabin. They have great ideas.
Google "monochromatic Neutral quilts" for images only or quilting in neutral colors. You will find loads of ideas from very complex to very simple.
I also recommend this book: http://www.amazon.com/Modern-Neutral...s+by+amy+ellis
I think a Trip Around the World quilt would be stunning in neutrals, shading from dark to light then back. I make Trip around the world with eight fabrics using 3 -1/2 in. squares, setting straight which is called sunshine and shadows.
