Looks great to me, I think they will love it, please post a picture when you are finished.

I love the colors together, but am not fond of the setting where the browns are together in the middle. A little too much of a good thing for me, I think.

Love It! How would we ever know what works if we don't experiment? Sometimes the most unlikely combination turns out wonderfully,as yours did.

I have been thinking about this quilt block- I think it would be really pretty if you used more tones of the red and the brown, and maybe even some tan strips. I love the color combination!

As someone said earlier, some red/brown mixes would help perhaps. Might be kind of hard to find tho, I don't know. Hugs and smiles and good luck on your beautiful blocks.

Brown and red used to be a classic combination!
It was mostly a light brown with red trim.
I still remember a beautiful dress a women friend of mine wore with red heels. Classic, Coco Chanel style. I LOVE the combination. Have fun with it.

The most popular colors for weddings last year was brown and pink and brown and aqua. So why not brown and red?

Love the combo and the 1st layout block is my favorite.

I have never tried that color combination either and I kind of like it. you might try to get more print combinations and sizes in the mix of fabrics. a whole lot of different fabrics in those shades would look great. the more the merrier for a log cabin. good luck with it.
