I made the DD #1 tourquiose & brown combo, she loves it. Her DH & DS quilts will be of similar tones. It was one of my favorites to make. I have more blue in my stash than any other color.

As long as you or the recepient like the colors, it doesn't matter.

I like the colors and does it matter if they are dated if you enjoy them?

I like blues, like turquoise and brown. I also like gray and brown. I am just not into pink-no matter what other color is with it.

Love those combinations, especially like teal, cream and brown. Since I don't do quilts for shows (I am definitely not that talented) I really don't care what's popular with judges...lol. I combine colors according to the person's room it's for or my own personal tastes...I also love the ones with black backgrounds combined with burgundy or pink.

Well, I still see quite a bit of it, but to me it does seem like something that was more popular a few years ago.

So just use the newest versions of pink/brown and blue/brown that are out in the stores. The Fabric Companies are always updating their fabrics, colors and patterns. You can't get the same pinks, browns and blues that you could get 10 years ago, or even 5, or the same patterns. So the stores keep you updated whether you want to be or not! Use what you love and leave the updating to the experts.

Just look at it this way: if you tried to wear the latest that fashion dictates, you'd look ridiculous and feel uncomfortable -- or at least I would. I've learned what looks good on me, and what doesn't, and I wear a version of those things, updated perhaps, but hardly the latest fashion. So why should I do anything different with my quilting?
