Welcome to the Quilting Board!
The prints are beautiful but very dark - sometimes indigo-style prints have more white in them. I would either fnd some similar which have more white, use more of the lighter ones so the darker ones stand out, or just go for white and solid navy for contrast. HST's? If I were to add another color I would add a clear mid-green, on the blueish side. Not sure. I didn't go grazy over the Glass pattern either when I peeked at it.

Thanks for the ideas. I have looked at this fabric a long time. It's time to get it cut.
The palette is endless with dark fabrics. I would steer clear of the gray's - tan's and white. But Pastels or Brights would work beautifully. I can picture these with the brilliant blue and aqua Batiks in a Snails Trail.
Which one is the free pattern? I did not see that offered. Marcia
I love yellow, so I would go with yellows or yellow and white to lighten it up.
Marcia, These are the two patterns offered.

I love this quilt also, I have all the fabrics to make it, it would be wonderful in those Indigos! I particularly like that they are reversible.Originally Posted by Billi

I like billi's idea....that certainly is a dark collection....needs white to bring out the intricate patterns in the fabs.......
how about a light beige to brighten the whole thing up a bit.
put off till tomorrow what you can do today, and if you procrastinate long enough, you may never have to do it.
