My next project will be a Hanging Gardens quilt made up in Jewel Tones. What color would you use for background fabric? Here's a link to the picture of the quilt pattern.

when i work with jewel tones I like to use black for the background. Makes the colors pop out. That said, i believe a neutral color that does not fight with the jewel tones works best There are some black batiks with slight undertones of another color - navy blue, red that work for me. Example of this is my Avatar.

I would probably go with either a butter yellow or a pale minty green. The hanging basket effect will be lost if you change the background to a dark color. I might even add some flower and leaf appliques to each basket.
