Antique white would look great... since the quilt has an OLD FASHION FLAIR to it. Stark white might be a bit harsh. I love this type of quilt.....it looks wonderful. BTW... Pearle Cotton has a nice soft antique white.

I would say variegated too!

we think alike. I discovered I had black, yellow and purple floss. on the diagonal I have a row of each color. so far it looks good. I've been hand knotting for hours and had to stop, my fingers are sore. I have to give them a rest.
