    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.

    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
