I think that would look very nice....Good Luck!

mizkyp 05-30-2011 03:35 PM

I think so. darkish brown and blue with ivory instead of white accents.

katier825 05-30-2011 03:35 PM

I think so. I've seen some cute brown/blue combos at the LQS.

LeslieFrost 05-30-2011 03:35 PM

Oh, yes! It would be great fun in chocolate and blue.

GwynR 05-30-2011 03:41 PM

YES!!!

blueangel 05-30-2011 03:43 PM

I think so.

ragqueen03 05-30-2011 03:44 PM

yes it would - i love chocolate brown and blue together. one of my fav color combos. i also like pink and brown. anymore brown seems to be a favorite of mine because it goes with so much and does seem to make colors pop!

Nanamoms 05-30-2011 03:45 PM

DITTO!

luv-e 05-30-2011 03:45 PM

A friend did one for GD in teal's and brown's WOW!!!!

StitchinJoy 05-30-2011 03:46 PM

Oh yes,a nice combination. I'd use a dark brown and a medium blue and ivory, for lots of contrast. Please show us when you finish!

S D G 05-30-2011 03:48 PM

I don't see why not. You see blue and brown togther all the time any more. So go for it. :thumbup: :-)

quiltyfeelings 05-30-2011 04:28 PM

Oh yes! Those colors are all the rave now. i don't think it could be wrong!

hopetoquilt 05-30-2011 04:29 PM

I didn't think of using ivory. That will soften it up alot. I don't have the fabric at home. I am stashless... I was going to order it tonight after I got some input

I also am going to try calligraphy with thread. It is a thank you for my aunt for helping me out alot.

Any good very brief words you think I should put on the front?

"Made with love" and "with love" were all I could think of. I could really use some ideas here too.

lauriejo 05-30-2011 04:30 PM

Yep, I really like blue and brown together.

crafty_linda_b 05-30-2011 05:01 PM

You could always make a couple of practice blocks...maybe reverse the colors to see which way you like best? Then use the extra block for a pot holder or a hot pad. Good luck..

sueisallaboutquilts 05-30-2011 05:28 PM

Oh yes!!!

deenatoo 05-30-2011 05:32 PM

I think it would look great!!

justwannaquilt 05-30-2011 06:07 PM

I think it would look great with blue and brown.

I made a quilt (don't have pictures on this computer) with robin egg blue, chocolate brown, and a "natural muslin" color. It was a HUGE hit at the baby shower.

Agree with background comment. Blue and brown are beautiful together

nativetexan 05-30-2011 06:18 PM

oh yes it would!!! and ericas.com is going out of business so order it soon.

hopetoquilt 05-30-2011 06:25 PM

I have the pattern. I absolutely love the pattern. I need to dive in and order the fabric.

QuiltnNan 05-30-2011 06:38 PM

i think blue and brown would be nice

lmyler 05-30-2011 06:47 PM

Hi - your blue and brown would be beautiful but look at the picture of the quilt carefully and choose a light, medium and dark - for depth and for your beautiful prints to pop, you need good contrast - have fun choosing and sewing.

wolfkitty 05-30-2011 07:04 PM

Yes they go together, Use lights and darks for contrast, so the X's and O's show up well.

Yooper32 05-31-2011 02:53 AM

I think you already have a winner chosen. Those are soft, loving colors. I think "Made with Love" is perfect, it covers it all.

Just Me... 05-31-2011 02:56 AM

I think it would be adoreable!

Krystyna 05-31-2011 02:58 AM

That would look FABULOUS! Blue and brown is one of my new favorite combinations.

Tinabodina 05-31-2011 03:17 AM

For a baby, I would use light blue with a medium blue and light brown or dark tan

Lavada 05-31-2011 03:30 AM

go for it thats a beautiful color combo

Absolutely.

pipsqeak 05-31-2011 04:09 AM

I think blue and brown are very rich looking and if done for a boy would be great. Go for it.

Grandma Peg 05-31-2011 04:13 AM

cherrio 05-31-2011 04:17 AM
