I like using solids. They may not have movement but sometimes you need the quilt to stay still so you can admire the rest of it :lol:
Solids are great for framing, can help a focus fabric to stand out, can give your eyes somewhere to rest on a busy quilt and once it's quilted they don't look so stark :-)
