I used Muslin (eggshell color with the brown specks) for the background.

After seeing the blocks so far, I am really leaning toward a white background instead of the navy blue that I had planned to use. Your block and others have been an inspiration to me. I think that the simple blocks are more dramatic in a quilt than the ornate ones. We will have to wait and see. :-)
