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!

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.

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..

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.
