If you didn't read my other post a while back, I want to make a quilt for a friend of the family who was diagnosed with throat cancer last year.

The idea I had for colors was to use green and yellow since he loves the Packers. I think I want the main blocks to be green on green and then the blocks that are on point to be yellow on yellow.

(was too lazy to do a yellow one on point)

Last time I posted about this quilt a few people pointed out that I shouldn't use a white background because it shows dirt and dust more easily and if he takes it to treatments it might get stained (blood, IV fluids, etc). But I can't think of what would work with this color scheme and also take into consideration of possible hospital related stains. Except black, but I don't want to go with black (for once! Usually I'm in support of all things black!) Think its just a little too striking for this quilt and using black for this is kind of depressing. Ideas?
