The color contrast I get but the actual design on the fabrics sometimes confuse me at to, do they look good together?
One method I use is to pick out a less prominent feature of the focus fabric. The last one had a viney background. I used two matching greens that had a viney theme and the backing was a tone on tone with a viney pattern.
