Default Is this the right pattern for these fabrics??

OK, I received two of these packs of scraps of fabric from RK Geoscape 4 collection.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Geoscapes-Ar...cAAOSwGvhUCdUq
I started to sew the strips together which are mostly narrow. But when I finally was able to get the fabric copied onto EQ7 and installed in the sketchbook, maybe the white and black won't work as well as two other colors. Any suggestions on what Kona colors I should try instead? THANKS always. The pattern is Blueberry Cobbler from F&P Love of Quilting March 2004

I actually like the black and white. It lets those beautiful batiks be the star of the show.

I think the fabrics look great. I like you using black and white because it lets the colors pop.

I do think it looks good and could be left as is.

Another color to maybe consider would be grey with either the white or black. I would do it with the white.

I know you stated what other Kona fabric but maybe a black/grey or white with a print of either grey/black or white would look good too. Solids can tend to make things look a bit too crisp/stark to me but that is a personal preference.

Great fabrics and a fun quilt pattern!

Yea, I find the white too harsh. Another shade of blue or green for me. The black is okay but I'd use a mottled or batik version.
