I am so grateful I showed my friend the flimsy (a fun bright fence rail with a frog border) I am ready to sandwich for her DIL's baby due this summer. When I showed it to her, she asked "who is that for?" I said Jen then she said our Jen?..she does not do color." She only likes brown...

On the "bright" side I will have a flimsy made ahead for the next baby I need one for. This am I began cutting strips of browns, creams and medium browns.

I posted the Baby Flimsy completed last week. Thanks for listening I feel better now

well shoot. sometimes Mothers are odd folks in their tastes that must be baby's taste too. I wish you luck on the next quilt!

I have only made baby quilts for charity and they have always been made of bright colors !!

Well that's too bad. But it was nice to find out ahead of time! The browns will be lovely I'm sure. I have a "gray" baby quilt request. Me: any other color? Baby grandma to be: no she only likes gray. So I have gray, white with gray dots, and white with gray stripe. Haven't figured it out yet!

I am chuckling over this because my SIL is exactly the same. Everything she owns is a shade of brown. The only other color she considers as an accent color is the green that is the mint layer of an andes mint candy. Sadly, as much as I love her, there was no way I could make little girls quilts in brown. So the first got pinks with that light green and hints of a milk chocolate brown (less than 10% of quilt). She actually hung the baby quilt in the baby room! Stunned I was. The second girl came around and I did purple/green and no brown, and she shocked me again and said she loved it for kendall. And then she turned around and begged me for a table topper, all in browns, go figure. Maybe the mommy will come to accept color for the little one. Good luck.

At least you have a head start on the next gift!!!

Oh I find this rather funny because I would like any color EXCEPT
brown (and olive/drab green).

That is not saying that I don't have some brown o/d greens, but
it is very limited.

NONE of my clothing is brown.

Like the others have said at least you have a heads up for the next time.

Well all I can say is those neutral only people are missing out on a whole bunch of cheer. Too bad......

I only want to say....You are awfully sweet to redo a quilt for your friend's DIL.
