Im not a pink person so I did a quick search to challenge myself to like something in those colors and I found this one. It's obviously not a simple design and I'm not sure if it is available in bed size but they do list a pattern, but its definitely bold and impressive and not sugary. I also saw some more traditional quilts like string quilts and sampler quilts in similar color pallets and I thought they looked very striking, and I'm not typically fond of samplers or pink.

It certainly is a very eye-catching quilt - thankyou.

A woman I know is doing a black and white with a splash of like green. I can't wait to see it - the colors are fabulous!

I am working on a scrappy quilt and have put some browns in with pinks. It brightens, tones down or whichever effect you need. Would also go along with the green. Can't wait to see your finished quilt

I've bought a couple of pinky browns and am using some terracotta colours from my stash - I think they'll go well.
