Sewbizgirl-I would have chosen any lighter colour, even a lighter gray would have been okay. It does make a good backdrop for the machine quilting which might have been her goal? I think she choose a fairly dark background so the points were more visible. With that pattern I would have chosen a creamy white or marbled beige so the piecing was more the focal point and made sure my points had enough colour to stand out. It is still a wonderful quilt!
