I would like to make a traditional quilt using neutrals, creams, beiges, well you know. Splash color probably blue or green. I am stuck on what pattern to use. So now I am turning to ya'll. What pattern would you use for that color palate?
Thanks,
Jo
Not sure how light the colors would be, but an Irish Chain in neutrals would be pretty.
Sisters choise maybee with the splash color as the starpoints.
I've seen and admired a log cabin done in neutral colors - done correctly they can be quite spectacular.
I agree with Sandy... A Log Cabin is nice in neutrals. Beiges etc.
Pat wys knockout neutrals just read about it on another quilty newsletter that i get.
ohhh, the possibilities! Look in Pinterest or Google low volume quilts. There are some spectacular low volume quilts out there. I like this one, I think it is a Carpenter's Star

I'd be interested in seeing a log cabin in neutrals! Sounds lovely!
They are beautiful. I think I would have a harder time picking out fabrics than brights.

I have one for you. It is called the Bali Flip Pattern and I just made two blocks for a bigger quilt using a light beige and a taupe. Looked good and it is an easy pattern. I will email it to you as it is a pdf file. If anyone else is interested, I can send it to you to too.
Oh my goodness!! What a wonderful page you sent. I think I like log cabin AND the basket weave...and at least a couple dozen others...lol
thank you!!!

Some kind of log cabin would look great. I saw a diamond log cabin with neutrals and greens or blues. Those were amazing! Take a look here:
Diamond Star Log Cabin Quilt -- marvelous meticulously made Amish Quilts from Lancaster (hs4531)
Monique, I would love that pattern also.
Lots of taupe quilts even books on neutrals...not thinking of titles right now. Love those. Easy to live with. Bright, bright colors don't work in my cabiny ranch house from the 1970s nearly as well as Civil War type colors.

Was a nice quilt. shame I have no picture
I got it Monique. lol Just as I opened it...lol computer froze...lol finally was able to see it and print it this morning...again...Thank you!!
How pretty is that! I think what middle would make a great tree skirt. Hmmm...
thank you for the link...
These quilts are just amazing, arenīt they! I have ordered fabric to give it a try about four weeks ago but I am still waiting for it to arrive. I guess it has to go through the customs office since it was a big order and that takes a while *sigh*Quote:

I made this one recently with neutrals. I think it's in my albums.
