If you can find the right shade - the peach color would be my choice. - On a different subject - love your on-line name - there is a series of children's books about "Fancy Nancy" which are a lot of fun to read!

A tiny light peach print or a tone on tone effect in peach would be my choice.

This was what jumped out for me too!
I am in the same camp! that was my gut response when I saw the three. Just a little something to make it pop!

I agree with everyone else, a peach would work great

I agree
I picked up on the peacy color too. Off white would be nice, to bad u cant pop it by adding a liitle bright orange? but that gives u more colors than u use. I don't think I would want a 4th of the quilt peachy or orange........

Having made several of these, I opt for the cream. And make it the "knot".Use the beige border and the dark for the binding.
