Most patriotic quilts use that combination unfortunately.<br /><br />I delight in unexpected combinations -- your browns can benefit from zippy touches like chartreuse, absinthe, mint, sea blue, underwater green.... plus all the gelato colours.

Particularly the darker browns, and light teal blue..... mid range and light with shell pink.... mid to dark with creamsicle orange..... I don't think I've tried reds or purples with the browns yet. Anyway, I tend to find my stash is always low on yellows for some reason - not because I don't like them, so maybe they're just not as available right now. And I found, when I went to shop in my stash, that I am seriously low on jewel tones!
