I like the Kona Oyster with it. But I also think a nice light gray would look great--like Kona Silver.

I'm also not a fan of white. Personally, I would take it to the store and look for a nice Navy blue. That would give you contrast without using white.

With this Sophie jelly roll, what background fabric do you think? I am anti-white.. so I was thinking about one of the white grunges because they are not pristine and white. Then I also thought about a light gray

Do you guys have any suggestions? I am color challenged Thanks

Love that jelly roll. I think you should use brown as the background.

That crossed my mind too! I think brown looks like it would work.. but I am chicken

I would be brave and use red
I think the red would look great too - but I am chicken. I am thinking about a red border

You could go with the line from oyster thru cream to a light beige. Or, go really crazy and go dark with a chocolate or medium dark blue?????? I would lay the strips across a few fabrics and take note of which one really grabs your eye each time you walk into the room.
