I can understand the dark back-ground would have light flowers made up on it. I can see I will have to make up two blocks then decide which way to go.

I do not like yellow ... but I must admit that your choice seemed very "fresh" and "happy"! Neutrals are a classic and look great on any wall.

But my h eart is leaning toward the Yellow/Classic Springtime, or the Neutral colors - only because it seems the floral palette would be wide open with either of those two backgrounds. Those reds would look beautiful as flowers !!<br /><br />You have the eye though -- so whatever you choose I'm sure will be beautiful !.<br /><br />KarenKarens Quilts, Crows and Cardinalshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04839869002904564355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8113183995005359036.post-79069016293154576162012-02-18T13:18:57.506+11:002012-02-18T13:18:57.506+11:00Thanks Esther I am happy to wait.

I think it should either be a darker color. . or include several colors from the quilt. The 1st fabric choice is the only one that meets that criteria for me. <br />If you switched the order of the reds I would like them better. . The neutrals don't seem to have enough contrast right off-hand. BUt if you were to put another darker grey as the borders/sashing I would REALLY like that too. Will the floral appliques have lots of color? maybe the greys would look really good as the background for that! <br />Just an opinion.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02839013868513125880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8113183995005359036.post-21858048540728202532012-02-17T15:01:17.031+11:002012-02-17T15:01:17.031+11:00I really like the grays for the neutral part backg...I really like the grays for the neutral part background so the main quilt will jump out in the middle.
