Turquoise blue seems to be the trend with brown these days

I go for turquoise also.

Try aqua, it works well with both the pink & brown.

The first color that popped in my head is turquoise.

If you have a color wheel, the color opposite of the one you are using usually makes a good color to use..I was thinking of a bright teal or aqua, that would go good with both of those colors. LOL i just read the two post b4 mine and see great minds work alike.

I would make it a bright color, for sure. Either turquoise, bright yellow, lime or orange.

Have you thought of staying within the same colors but going a lot darker and or brighter, for instance, a raspberry would really set off a brown and lighter pink quilt

I agree, ghostrider. You are right on! I would go for the lime green "zip".

The lime green sounds like a good choice!

And Ghostrider, I agree with PenniF, your analysis was great!
