If you had a request for a "neutral" bed quilt, what would that mean to you?

I think the Pinwheel/Rail Fence quilt would be beautiful in shades of browns and beiges. I have the pattern available on my blog at http://www.colormequilted.com with one or two corners of the rail fence as pinwheels.
There are lots of different browns and beiges, and I would stick to the warmer shades to give the quilt a homey feel.

I am thinking creams, tans, browns......any suggestions? I liked the "creme brulee" quilt that was posted and then gone..... but it was just two colors.

I had a request for a Wedding Quilt and the colour palette I was given was 'Pebbles and Cream'!!! I took this as a neutral palette!! This was my interpretation!! Just lots of soft beiges, pinks, turquoises,blues and creams!! They were delighted with it!!!!

ETA: what about doing a sampler with various shades of creams, tans, and browns?
