Every one is suggesting white for the background of your wedding ring quilt. I agree. However, the choice of fabrics for the ringshould be a very outstand combination of pastel backgrounds. I would suggest a pale green or blue with an overall small design of flowers (blue,pink, yellows) any color as long as the prints are very small. I used this formula for one I made several years ago and it turned out beautifully. Good luck with it. It is a very rewarding pattern to work with.
