Wow - Nothing bland about that quilt!
When someone says 'neutrals' - I would ask for some paint chip cards of what they want so that their idea of neutrals and my idea of neutrals match.
Some people may think gray tones, some tan, some pinkish tan, some cream - I usually think cream to sand to tan - but others may think grays - and there are warm grays and cool grays - - -
So 'neutrals' isn't quite 'one color range might fit all'
