Memory Angel quilt
 

I am going to make an angel memory wall hanging for Christmas. My first thought was --of course the Angel wings are white! What to use for a background? Any suggestions are welcome.

Varying shades of blue - for backgrounds for day time and night time angels!

I agree or my other favorite color, green, just to be different.

you could go with white to show off all the colors best, and just outline in a grey or darker shade of grey.
are you doing redwork, then white.

Alternately you could do gold wings.

How about using gold for the wings??

I found a sky blue fabric with clouds on it at my local WalMart.

I would say a blue for the sky with maybe a little yellow for sunshine
