    Which background fabric???

    I plan to cut 5" squares in these colors and either use the gray or the white sashing. Which one do you think looks best? It's for my niece who is getting married, they have a dark gray sofa.

    My vote is for the gray, but I'm in a really gray stage of decorating right now. It goes with so many colors.

    I agree. Go with gray.
    A quilt is like a good life. It's full of mistakes, but, in the end, it looks pretty good.

    I vote for the gray, it is more contemporary looking for a young couple.

    Gray! It will look striking against some of those yellows. Definitely the gray!
    Go forth and sew!

    I like the grey,too, but do you have any way of seeing whether it's the right shade for their sofa? Greys have a lot of different undertones, like blacks and whites do, and it might really look bad if they don't work well together.

    I am not on the current gray bandwagon however I really like it with your fabrics, it looks really good together.

    I'd vote for the gray as well since they have the dark gray sofa.
