I just made a baby quilt with the "Depression" pattern. I used all the colors of the rainbow, both pastel and bright. And then I used a swirly tonal in oranges, greens, blues, pinks as the border and binding. The back was a multi-colored stripe. It worked just fine. Besides which, when the child gets older and drags it all over the place it won't show the dirt that much!!!!!!
Just a thought! Edie
