I'm a member of the London Modern Quilt Guild, and we're doing more work on colour this year.  One of the topics is 'Mud and Neutrals', and how 'mud' works with so many different colours.  The last block here - 42 Fruit Basket - has a wonderful 'mud' that I had brought along with me!  More on using 'mud' in modern quilts here ... Desert Island Solids: MUD
