The first quilt that popped into my mind (apart from the very recent quilt finishes :) is the Brown and Turquoise Quilt I made for my best friend back home.
The frontI had the idea only a short time before visiting her (shipping would have been expensive and I'd chew all my nails off worrying about the quilt being lost in the mail! Though I don't really chew my nails...). However, the blocks are 13" square, so that saved lots of time :)
The back
All the colours in this quilt are favourites of the recipient, though I'm quite partial to the brown-turquoise mix myself... just not so much of a pink person :)
My friend was thrilled to receive this quilt and I know she'll treasure it - what more could a quilter ask for???

this is one of my favorites that i have seen that you have made!!! the brown and turquoise is such a great color combo
I love turquoise and brown too! I especially love the little surprise on the back, nice touch.
Wonderful colors, very impressive, congratulations:)
I love the quilt. I too love that striking combination. I have a very good friend who uses those colors a lot in her quliting, and it made me think of her immediately! Love the back. I zoomed in on the isolated circle picture, and was absolutely tickled to see the little frogs hiding behind the lily pads.
Maybe a dumb question, but I haven't done much of my own quilting... how did you do the quilting without running over the circles on the backing?
I was never a brown person but I've been seeing the color put to good use in quilts and I am really loving the combinations. My favorite is pink and brown and blues/greens and brown. And the colors you chose to go with the browns are fabulous! And that pink froggy print is the cutest! A+ on another great quilt!
very cute! I love the dark brown with the turquoise! What a fantastic gift for your friend.
