Definitely agree w/ picking 3 or 4 patterns and let her pick. Maybe she can go w/ you to pick out fabrics or pull up a collection online??

Log Cabin Pattern

Log Cabin has always been my idea of a country quilt. But I agree pick three or four patterns you are comfortable with and let her select which pattern.

The fabric selections would go a long way in making any quilt a country quilt. I can also see a Nine Patch or a Quick Quarter.

I would tell her to go online and pick a few patterns and then "surprise" her that way

I agree with Kathy, and done in earth tones

There are some beautiful ones on "Connecting Threads" this month.

I think log cabin or 9p.

I also agree with getting 3 or 4 patterns together and let the bride choose which she would like. Have fun.

these are the ones i've done considered...country...or up-north... lots of inspiration out there for her colors :thumbup:

ok...so i didn't find the greatest pics of earth color quilts...i've made so many...i need to figure out where my pics are...but here's a couple...sort of in the color scheme

I would use a different pattern for each block, your color choice is what will make it a country feel quilt.
