This is a curved log cabin I recently completed (& shared on here at http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...s-t259506.html ) - there are a few more pics there.

There is a book on Japanese quilts using all bieges. It adds colors that are beigish green, blue and brown but very muted. I believe it is call something like "Neutral Quilting".

Dina, Ooooh, the top one is a gorgeous quilt - it looks so deep and I love quilts that look like an optical illusion. Beautiful - Edie

Maybe you can include some prints that have navy, brown, or black.

Thank you! That quilt actually won a first place ribbon at a quilt show. I was very surprised and pleased, as I quilt my own, using SID and I had been told a SID never got ribbons.

This is a quilt I did for my very best friend. I called it "The Sands Of Time" because that is the test our friendship has more than passed. We both loved the way this one turned out!

I believe Alex Anderson did a book on neutral color quilts.

I've always thought the use of all neutrals made the quilt seem more elegant. LOVE your sand hill crane quilt as the star blocks add a wonderful background but don't overtake the focus, the crane.
