Why hate the brown??
 

I keep seeing people say "I don't like brown quilts." I just wonder why. These are two that I've made, and they are two of my favorites. Now I'm not saying YOU have to like them. Just wondering why so many people don't like brown in quilts?

I love them. I don't hate brown just never did much with it. I will have to start a brown stash. Wonderful on both of them

I am with you. I love brown, gold the colors I call earth tones. Your quilts are beautiful.

beautiful. love the what pattern is the 2nd one? Eye catching.

It's called "Eureka" http://www.animasquilts.com/EurekaLg.html It's one of the few times I actually forced myself to follow someone else's instructions! LOL! It's a beautiful pattern!

i love both of your quilts
i love browns, purples, yellows and my favorite is blue

the color i don't like is pink and green

everyone has their favorite colors

Brown is my favorite color. So many colors and shades of brown. Your quilts are beautiful.

I'm not a huge fan of pink in my own stash, but love it in other people's quilts. Go figure. LOL!

I love brown quilts too. Yours are beautiful! Browns look so warm.

They are so beautiful!! Brown is one of my favorite colors, too!

I am a fan of brown! I think its an under used color. Your quilts a beautiful.

love yhe both, reminds me of a quilt my ML, made

very nice , I'm actually working on a brown quilt my self , hope it turns out as pretty as yours did , great job.

I like brown too. Your quilts are very pretty!! You have just the right mixture of color in with the browns. Great job.

Your quilts are lovely. For some of us, brown is a complexion killer so I have steered away from any shades of brown. However, I have come to use it in quilts for other people. Especially like the second quilt you have shown.

Your quilts are beautiful but I still don't like brown. I have a brown quilt top finished except for the borders (made in a mystery BOM) and I'm struggling to get it finished. I know my DIL loves brown so I think she will be gifted with a very large brown star quilt. Colour is such a personal preference. I remember fighting with my mom at six years old because she tried to buy me a brown snowsuit while I was sobbing "but I don't like brown" and I haven't changed my mind on that one. For me "red is best!" It's all about what makes our heart sing.

Your quilts are awesome, and the browns are striking. Barb

Oh I love your brown quilts-brown is a warm earth tone-warm and cozy

For me, brown by itself with no design is boring but when added to different patterns and prints, it can be most beautiful. I too love the autumn/fall colors using the browns/goldens etc Love both of your quilts

Two absolutely stunning quilts!!

Your quilts are beautiful. Thanks for the link to that pattern, i love it.
We all have colors we don't like. For me it is aqua.

Those are beautiful quilts although not a color I would pick. I would think that if someone says they "hate" brown quilts I would say that "earthtone" quilts or whatever aren't their "colors". I have a large stash but not a lot of it is "earthtones".

those are terrific... i love what you did with browns

Here is a photo of what I did with brown. I added some other colors too, like red, yellow, green.

All of the quilts posted here are stunning. It certainly makes a difference what a color is paired with! I do like to work out of my comfort space and find I'm usually pleasantly surprised.

Your quilts are very pretty! Though I like a deep dark brown, and golds too, but the rusts and burnt oranges are ones I don't care for. :)

I guess it depends on what one likes, I like your quilts.

Nice quilts! I like brown, but I don't seem to use it as much now because lately I prefer bright colors.

I guess what I'm saying is that everyone has a color they aren't crazy about... with me it's pink... but you don't really see people talking negatively about those colors so much. But brown gets bashed a LOT. I was thinking maybe it's because back in the 70's and 80's everyone got sick of those colors and now they're considered "old fashioned" or something. (Tell me you don't remember those god-awful harvest gold appliances and brown shag carpets! LOL!) But, as they say, everything old is new again... and with the new fabrics and new patterns I think brown is making a come back!

Brown is not one of my favorite colors but I seem to be making more quilts and clothing with brown in them. By adding a focal color with it, it becomes a whole different color scheme. Right now I'm working on a brown, blue and beige quilt for a couple. Thought about adding a focal color for pop but once I decided on the pattern I'd use, I didn't need it. As its a scrappy quilt, all the various shades and patterns on the fabrics makes it busy enough.

Love your quilts, very interested in the pattern for the #2 quilt. Looks like a pineapple block and I see a logcabin block plus whatever the center block is.

gret quilts like the color brown!

I like brown just not as all the colors, but it i very nice as a compliment, I think brown is just overdone in most homes there is little color, brown couches, walls, floors, it just becomes very drab to me. however your quilts are very lovely

I guess people tend to think of brown as being a rather dull colour, but your quilts are absolutely beautiful and just shows what can be achieved with various brown coloured fabrics.

the autumn colors colorway is my favorite. I love the myriad of browns, too.

To each her own taste. I happen to like autumn colors. But what I really like is how quilters jumble up all the colors and come up with something stunningly beautiful. When that happens like in the quilts above, what a joy. Remember years ago when YELLOW was a no-no color and all the warnings about choosing a shade of yellow? Well, look at them now! You go, girl!

I like brown too, and your quilts are beautiful!

brown goes with everything. i don't hate it.
