background fabric to 1930`s prints advice needed
#1
Hi there
I am planning a quilt with 1930`s prints, not sure about the pattern yet. I found almost a similar post here, but my problem is that I would like it to get a sofa throw and with three cats offwhite might not be the best solution.
Do you think a solid pale color will work also? What are your favorite brands of solids?
And if you made a quilt with 1930`s would you share the pics with me?
Any help appreciated

The quilts I slept under as a child were 30's quilts made by my grandmother. One was a pink and blue 4-patch with some other design on the bigger blocks, but all just the medium intensity pink and blue. The other was green and yellow, 4-patch and stars. Other than the white background for the little green flowers, there was no white on it. Both the green and the yellow were fairly bright. Both of these quilts are long gone, but I have used some of the 30's fabrics with similar prints in a couple of recent Around the World quilts...sorry I didn't take pictures before giving them to the ones I made them for.
