Default Choosing the background fabric ???

I am trying to get this last gift done for an older friend who loves reproductions:
https://www.anniescatalog.com/detail...prod_id=124831
I decided not to piece squares for the center but to use a whole piece of fabric. But when I put the letters on Kona Snow, it looked blah. So then I was able to pull a pastel pink calico but the letters seem to blend. I am planing to use a black thread buttonhole stitch. I will be sewing the rectangles as the border but which background should I choose?? Thanks for your suggestions.
