Both your quilts are beautiful. I have to admit that I can admire brown and earth tone quilts, although brown is not one of my favorite colors. That said, my BF requested a log cabin quilt for her log cabin home several years ago and requested that it be brown. I found a pattern on the cover of a quilt magazine which combined log cabin blocks, and maple leaf blocks with an appliqued log cabin in the center of the quilt. With maybe one exception, I consider this quilt one of the best quilts I have ever made, she loved it, it hangs from her second floor balcony beside her fireplace and she tells me she proudly tells anyone who comments on it that I made it especially for her.
