I oooohhhh and aaaawwww over earth tone quilts but cannot bring myself to make one. I've made fall wall hangings with brown but find that it's not in my palate when I choose colors for larger projects. I'm not a brown hater, just not in my top choices. Right now I'm stepping out and using Bonnie Hunter's color choices in her Celtic Solstice pattern. I'm not a fan of using a lot of green and yellow, but there they are and I'm doing it. My color of choice is BLUE!!! (Which I understand goes beautifully with brown!)
