I am not enammered with brown but I need to do something with these. Does anyone have any patterns to suggest to use up this mountain of fabric. I am not apposed to adding other fabric to this but I want to use mostly these fabrics. By the way they are all solid colors.
Thank you for any help you can give me.

I'd add something for accent, like red perhaps, to liven up the mix. If you have a lot of strips, there are some great strip quilts you could do. Check out the Summer In the Park quilt tutorial at Missouri Star Quilting Co.

Judy Martin's Shoreline Log Cabin. Not for the faint of heart, however. The largest piece is 3.5" long and 1.5" wide. The smallest is .75' long and 1.5" wide. Made it for my MIL, these are her colors.
