Oh...forgot to mention. I'm also a big fan of khaki. Best wishes ~ C.

Love the quilt as is but a quick thought from my house. I have dogs, so black anything does not look good for very long - dog hair!! It is a consideration when making something for another.

I would put a border around the quilt in black then as move to edge turning to another colour of choice.

How about white and pink for the background with pops of red every so often that you used in the heart? I would piece the background just like you did the heart. Don't use black.

Personally, I like it on a black background and I also like - very much the various reds and other colors you already have in your squares. As a Chemo nurse, I see the black as a 'dark' period in your friends' life and the red symbolizes her strength. I'm glad to hear she's stage one. I hope your friend has a quick and uneventful recovery. Thanks for sharing your fabulous pattern. Love it!! ---- Jane

Hi fellow Floridian,

I love your quilt. Can you tell us the size of it and where you got (bought) the pattern (name)? It's fab. If you designed it yourself, you did a great job. I'm thinking it might be a good group project.

How about blue with white polka dots or white with red?

Love the pattern, black looks good , but not for someone who will probably use it often. What about all the lint it will p/u ? I am trying to visualize another color but so far all I can think of is the purplish color you have in center that contains a red square.

If you want a contrast, but think black would be too stark or send the wrong message, perhaps, browns, grays or taupes for the surrounding background?
