I think it will look great with your geese!
With prices rising, I've decided to start using more muslin in my quilts. I love the quilt shop quality fabrics, and this will help me stretch my stash out longer. I love the Kaufman Premium Muslin and the Southern Belle Muslin - both are 200 thread count. I've gotten them for very good prices. Higher than the Roclon muslin at Joann's, but much less than adding more of the prints to the quilt.
