Looks like I will be in the minority with this comment, but I think I'd stay with a dark batik rather than getting out of batiks for just one fabric. My preference would be a deep purple but a black or chocolate brown would work great too. Broke my wrist several years ago; have a plate and 6 screws. Physical therapy made all the difference and though still feels a little different every once in awhile, it's not painful. Just needs a deep massage and some energetic wiggling!
