Someone who'd done several said I absolutely HAD to use muslin or at the very least cream. So glad to see there are others using white, not that I ever make layout decisions by quilt police coercion :lol:
Retro-Who ever told you that you had to use muslin or cream must not have looked at the many DJ quilts posted on the web from all over. There are many, many beautiful DJ quilts out there and the backgrounds are as different as the quilters. Do what you love, forget someone else's rules!
I think the only important consideration is the contrast between your fabrics so that all of the little pieces don't get lost in a mush of color.
