If you are looking for earth tones check "keepsake Quilting" They are showing many "earth tone" fabrics and patterns. Alot of these colors seem to be mute colors and are in batics. I recently made my daughter a "beige" quilt and did have to look at several places before I found all the brown/beiges that I want. In my area each quilt shop seems to carry different themes/colors. of fabric. There is one that just opened that is carring brights which I do not use/like so I will not frequent that shop but there are other shops in my area that carry colors/patterns that I like so I go there.
