I made a wedding quilt for our GD last year. It was called White Chocolate and was beautiful shades of creams, whites, beiges and very light browns. It was gorgeous!!

I was thinking of this quilt! It would be pretty in almost any color scheme. I'm a brown lover but some people aren't. I would interpret neutral to also mean not floral, some folks think of flowers as girly.
I'd go back to the source and ask for a little more info they may just mean not folksy, which would mean a more modern design or strip quilt. I think this quilt pattern can go lots of ways. It's not really folk but not too modern.

There is no way of knowing. To me netural is blend of
light tan, off white, white, or earthy tans.
But to mil is it no decoration white & plain.
To her only white walls,no pictures on wall or things
sitting anywere. Everything in place. We get along
fine just have different taste.
One more thought: it a gift of love, and they know it.
My Mil will put wharever I get her out like the lap quilt I
made her on her bed at nursing home maybe 3 days. Then can't handle it longer and puts it away, or gives it away,for her that is all she can handle, but tries to have it out, it was a nice lite bird print she had wanted inner self I guess, out the outside self could not hande it.
Can you wait and meet them and tell them your plans & get
their true likes. there is busy pattern & plain

Have you met, or even seen the bride-to-be? Years ago someone told me that if I want to gift someone and don't know them well, check out what they wear. Women, if they have the means, wear and decorate their houses in tones they feel enhance themselves. It's automatic. And he must like what she likes, right?

Having said that, I have to tell you that the idea of having "neutral" tones used on a wedding bed sounds out of kilter to me. That's one place where it should be a bit lively. Anyway, check HER out.

creams - beiges - light tans . I am making one for a dear friend who only 'does neutral' I am just the oopposite - so for the past 6 months I have collected various tonal fabrics and I am about to start - so different from my taste which runs to bolds and batiks !!
