    Don't like the greys at all. I like the black the best. White is also nice, and I think with a narrow black border before the white, as previously suggested, it would look just as good as the black.

    Another vote for a black inside border then white. I also like the white for a more delicate look (i.e. baby blanket)

    Lovely fabrics! Look forward to see what you do with it all

    first I'll admit to bias--I had that same fabric that I made table runners from--and I used a dark gray--so that is what I vote for!

    BLack definitely does the most for those prints.

    I like the black best. Makes the yellow pop.

    I like the dark gray also. Black seems so harsh.

    I was thinking the same. I'd like to see a dark grey for the background.

    Between the black and the white, I prefer the black.

    I like black. I use it a lot as I think it makes a dramatic look. But not if you are wanting an overall “soft” looking design.
