Moonrise: hahahahahahahaa! I've got that one, too! Your quilt will be very pretty.
KarenBarnes: I'm pretty good at choosing colors to go with a fabric, but sometimes I get stuck. Like MJ said, pick a good 2-color block and you can't go wrong. I've done that in the past, and sometimes I use white/beige/muslin/tan, and occasionally I will use black as the second (i.e., "background") color. Makes the focus fabric really stand out. And don't worry ... we're sure to love whatever you make for us, 'cuz it's made with love and care.
