The funny part is that I don't particularly care for brown and orange, but the orange fabric is southwest desgin and it was a scrap I had left from a previous quilt. The brown is really a tan batik (it's the sashing in my avatar) and my husband loves this color, and I've been trying to find more on the internet, and so far eveything I've ordered comes in to gold. Then I just used the black because it looked good with it. The back was southwest fabric left over from another quilt. Glad you like it.
