Which background fabric???
 

I plan to cut 5" squares in these colors and either use the gray or the white sashing. Which one do you think looks best? It's for my niece who is getting married, they have a dark gray sofa.

My vote is for the gray, but I'm in a really gray stage of decorating right now. It goes with so many colors.

I vote for gray!

I vote for the gray, it is more contemporary looking for a young couple.

Gray! It will look striking against some of those yellows. Definitely the gray!

I also vote for gray!

I am not on the current gray bandwagon however I really like it with your fabrics, it looks really good together.

I'd vote for the gray as well since they have the dark gray sofa.

I agree.... Gray!

One more for gray! I like your selection of fabrics.

I know that right now gray is popular BUT but I think the white makes all of the other fabrics POP. I vote for the white!

Here's another one for the gray! Selection of fabric is really nice!

I too like your fabric and understand that the question is gray or white so I would probably pick gray. BUT have you considered putting black with it???

Since the quilt is intended for a grey sofa, I prefer the white for the background. Using the grey might muddle with the sofa. Will you have an opportunity to check out the tone of the grey sofa?

I vote for gray. That would be a great complement to a dark gray sofa. I agree that gray will give a more modern feeling that's perfect for a young couple. Lucky newlyweds to be getting such a special gift from you!

Your quilt is going to be beautiful, I would go with the gray also.

Love those yellows! Yes, gray! :)

I agree. I think the black would make it pop.

I'm choosing the gray! Love those yellows!

I think the white really shows off the beauty of each fabric.

Gray with white sashing and a thin white inner border.

First let me say I absolutely love your fabric choice.

I like the gray the best. Adds a level of sophistication.

Another grey vote! :)

Another vote for gray!

Gray, your fabrics are great and the gray makes it look 'together'.

I vote for gray! Makes the other colors pop/stand out!

Gray all the way!

I really like the gray

IMHO white or black.
The white will give a fresh crisp loo. The black more dramatic.

While grey would be nice ... unless you can match to the grey couch, you are running a huge risk that they will not, and thus, your quilt will look disastrous with the couch.

I like the gray too...how about cornerstones of black for the extra pop?

I vote for white. Greys are weird, some cool, some warm. The grey could potentially CLASH with the sofa.

And white pops. And it's less trendy. And it will show off the greys in the quilt.

I like the grey

White. I agree that if your gray background isn't a good partner for the tone of gray in the couch, it's not going to look good on it, and there are just so many shades of gray. White allows the fabrics to stand out and look fresh, will not clash with the couch or other gray in their decor, and makes for a more visually interesting quilt-- there's very little value variation with the gray.

I vote for the gray.

Man! I just don't know. I think that the gray would look good then I also agree about the color clashing with the couch. Love your colors. Whatever you do I know that this will be a beautiful quilt. Be sure to show us when you are finished. BrendaK

Gray seems to enhance the blocks better

I also vote Gray!

IMO, the white background looks like the pieces are just LAID under th blocks-----------not a part of the design like the gray will be

Gray sashing with white sashing????????????

I like the gray.
