According to Better Homes & Gardens, "Brown is the New Neutral." And like Carrie Quinn (Pieceful Gathering Quilt Shop), some quilters can never get enough of these warm, cozy, mixable neutrals, no matter the season or project."In my mind, brown, cream and tan work in any quilt, and help give them that warm aged feel." She then added the larger prints to create a cohesive collection that works equally well on its own.
