    Red face Memory Angel quilt

    I am going to make an angel memory wall hanging for Christmas. My first thought was --of course the Angel wings are white! What to use for a background? Any suggestions are welcome.

    Varying shades of blue - for backgrounds for day time and night time angels!

    I agree or my other favorite color, green, just to be different.

    you could go with white to show off all the colors best, and just outline in a grey or darker shade of grey.
    are you doing redwork, then white.
    put off till tomorrow what you can do today, and if you procrastinate long enough, you may never have to do it.

    Alternately you could do gold wings.

    I found a sky blue fabric with clouds on it at my local WalMart.
