Thread: Help with all beige quilt

I want to make wedding quilt and she wants all beige fabrics. I can't find anything that isn't blah. Thanks in advance for any help.

The first thing I thought of was Batiks.

Ditto. So many pretty beiges out there. If you do nothing more than large block of patterned beige batiks.

I've always thought the use of all neutrals made the quilt seem more elegant. LOVE your sand hill crane quilt as the star blocks add a wonderful background but don't overtake the focus, the crane.

Maybe a Bargello? I did one with lots of beige, though there is also brown. Or I did one with a Take Five pattern in beige....though there is some brown too.

Just in case either picture sparks an idea for you...

Thank you! That quilt actually won a first place ribbon at a quilt show. I was very surprised and pleased, as I quilt my own, using SID and I had been told a SID never got ribbons.
