Mind is stuck on just doing plain ol' 4 patch but really want to make something else. Any good ideas? You guys always have the best!!

I did a mystery (Planet Patchwork) in pinks and browns a couple of years ago--- will try to take a photo later. Not quilted yet, but I liked how it turned out despite being a mystery

I've made three pink and brown quilts. Loved them all. I don't think there's a wrong way to make one. One was a baby quilt with appliquéd hearts, alternated pink heart on brown and brown heart on pink using scraps. I also make a sampler which was fun because I tried lots of patterns and used a beautiful border if large pink roses on brown. The other was a Sunbonnet Sue and I love the old fashioned fabrics for her clothes. I don't think there could be an ugly pink and brown quilt if you love the fabrics.

Love pink and brown. Here is a link to loads of pictures to start you thinking.

and there is a great "recipe" for pink and brown quilt at Moda BAke Shop.

I've only made one pink and brown it was a baby quilt for my great niece, made from a moda layer cake and charm pack, the pattern was froma book that was gifted tome from a BSS the name of the book was "Loose Change" T he quilt went together really fast, the tricky part for me was the scalloped bonding, it was my frst.

I did a brown/pink string quilt one time...

Wow! I love both quilts but the string quilt is stunning! I just joined a scrap quilt group and yesterday worked on crumb quilts. I had lots of bits of 30's so I'm using those now. I really want to learn how to do strings. It's amazing that such a gorgeous quilt comes from strips. TFS

By coincidence....check our the free e-pattern posted by Marion today.

See I knew you'd come up with something. Didn't think of strings but now I will. Gonna check out the other ideas.

Thanks again.
