Well I for one like the beige, and I love the pattern. I think it turned out just fine... and you may be surprised the colors may grow on you! I made a pineapple quilt once that was purple and mustard yellow I thought it was ugly, donated it to an auction for a cause. I keep looking at the picture ( I take pictures of all the quilts I make and put them in my Quilt picture album) and wish I had it back it grew on me.... too late now..
