requesting help with colors
I am making a welcome for some Iowa fans... which background do you think is best? I will probably blanket stitch around the letters in black.... thanks ladies, ( the yellow background looks a bit gold here. It is hand dyed and does match the lettering.)

If a small dense blanket stitch, I'd use the yellow. I don't think black would do enough to make the letting stand out on the blue, which is so close to the blue in the letters. The welcome would be most pronounced on the white background, which would be my second choice.

The white background shows off the nice lettering the best. Do you have a white or near white that has some texture or design to it, like a white on white? Just to add some dimension to it. I like the hand dyed yellow piece, too. Do you have enough to do a practice piece with at least one letter that you have stitched in which ever method you decide? Maybe it will make the lettering stand out more.
