I love this "bold" quilt!! It reminds me of a kalidescope! Where will the quilt go? If you put a "neutral" backing on it to tone it down for your husband's perception - would it then spend most of its time showing the back?
My opinion - since you asked :D I would use one of the materials in the front if I had enough or take the quilt top to the fabric store and see what "hit me". But it just might be bold! Like a bright/colorful paisley or something that looks tie-dyed! That would be wicked!
Just tell your husband you're expressing your wild side :lol:
