I like the black with the 1930's fabric, too. Makes it look very vintage and realistic--the it was done back then. Here's a photo of my SBS quilt named "The Bluebonnet Club" b/c they are all in blue. In between the sunbonnets I added trapunto hearts. I also added tons of embellishments, lace, ribbon, beadwork, etc. It was lots of fun to make.
