Here are some points of French Country to keep in mind.
1. Colors used to decorate in"French Country" include sunny yellow and soft gold, fire red and burnt rust, bright grass green and dark hunter green, cobalt blue and soft ocean tones. Bright black and dull grays sometimes punctuate the bright colors.
2. French Country motifs include roosters, olives, sunflowers, grapes, lavender.
3. Toile is a traditional design for French Country fabrics. A white, cream, or yellow ground has large motifs in a single contrasting color, such as black, blue, red, or green. Toile themes include farm animals, monkeys and Chinese patterns, bucolic country scenes, or courting scenes of the 18th century.
Quilts I've seen in this style often have lots of white/cream background fabric.
