Well, it sounds like you will have to get some new fabric. Aqua and brown is a popular color combination now. My daughter just asked me to make her a new bed quilt in "chocolate and spa blue."

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!
