I have quite a few beige fabrics. I had a lot of fabric given to me and it seems the few beige pieces are left from that stash. Brown is also my least favorite color but have made a few fall color quilts with brown and livened them up with orange and gold with great results. I pick up remnants at JoAnns and then do my best to match them with fabric from my stash to make charity quilts. I do enjoy the challenge. I was never one to go and buy everything for one project at the same time. Did that a few times but worrying about running out of a fabric takes the fun and spontaneity out of the project. I seem to gravitate to blue and red.
