If you had a request for a "neutral" bed quilt, what would that mean to you?

There are lots of different browns and beiges, and I would stick to the warmer shades to give the quilt a homey feel.

I looked through some "natural quilts" on-line and saw a beautiful pale blue background with all shades of shells - it was beautiful. That is what I think of when I think of nature - and what is more natural that the ocean and shales? Please let us when what you come up with. I always look forward to seeing the completed quilt of someone who requests suggestions from the Quilting Board members.
Good Luck. And, how sweet of you to make a quilt. That is love!

I saw one made by Alex Anderson that had light greens in it.

You might also want to find out if their tastes are more modern or traditional. The answer to that will also help you make something pleasing to them.
And one other thought I had: just because the house is painted/decorated in neutral doesn't mean your quilt should be...
Imagine a "neutral" living room, with a rich, jewel-toned lap quilt thrown over the sofa.... or those yummy earthy rich colors-- like eggplant, teal, burgundy...
