Shades of Gray
If your library has the book Quilts of Thimble Creek, Alex Anderson has a pattern called Simply Beautiful that she used for neutral fabrics. She used all shades of tan and cream and it is so pretty. It would also be very pretty in all shades of gray. Also, if you find the book by Karla Anderson called Stack the Deck,
there is a pattern with hearts appliqued on the blocks. I did this pattern in neutrals and added a few
hearts and it's very pretty. And it's a fun pattern to do. Have fun!

I have a Pattern from Fons and Porter that was in a magazine. It is called French Farmhouse (actually a double Irish Chain) I am doing it in shades of Purple, but the Gray's would be stunning this way.

I think a lot of Jacquie Gering's quilts would work beautifully in grays. I'm thinking specifically of this quilt from her blog: http://tallgrassprairiestudio.blogsp...red-remix.html
Good luck!
