I am embroidering a quilt for my GD, she has 2 years yet before she goes, but the 18" blocks are nearly solid cross stitch. I`m at it a yr. already. Each block has a picture of something to remind her of home. A house.Friends, love etc..... these are sewn in bright color, like hot pink, bright blue etc. then the back ground is all Black! Now I`m taking a pole if I should set it out in Hot pink or black? Bright blue can not be matched. So far 2- to- 1 go for black.
