I really like this combination. I think the one on the right is my favourite; it doesn't look pinkish to me. I think they go well together, although I agree with some other posters that a dark blue or brown would be my choice for the background instead of a light neutral.
I like quilts with muted colour schemes. Quilts don't have to be the star of every room they're in; I like it when they share the spotlight with the rest of the decor. I think this will be a nice, quiet, manly quilt.
