I will try a gray next - I just tried a yellow (yuk) .. see?
The black is just too much contrast for me...

Ohhhh! I would keep the black! Makes it just zing. It is really very nice. Great job.

I think the black looks great!

The black looks great to me !

I do like the black and as people say it has great contrast. If you're not really hot on the black, why don't you try a brown....brown and pink are great together.

deema 01-15-2011 05:46 AM

I think it's great too!

Beautiful !! Keep it !!

fancifrock 01-15-2011 07:30 AM

I think it depends on what you like but I think maybe you could try maybe a mauve or green, something not quite so vivid.

mimee4 01-15-2011 08:11 AM

Love it with the black.

pamkasperi 01-15-2011 08:12 AM

That is going to look so cool when put together....

I would go with a chocolate brown, but that's just
my opinion.
Have a Great Day!

Like the black, but I would audition a green or a purple.

bobolee 01-15-2011 09:04 AM

Actually, I really like the black. It seems to center the block just right!

mypatookis 01-15-2011 09:05 AM

Maybe it's just me, but it looks like your black has a pattern to it and has a little, very dark pink in it. That ties it all together. I think it is gorgeous and would keep the black... definitely! Beautiful block.
Oh, and the block you put together for your son? not too bad!... but for a whole, totally different look. I think he has a good eye! You would really want to have a bright quilt though.
Personally, I love that black. :thumbup: :thumbup:

JeanDal 01-15-2011 09:31 AM

The black makes it POP imho.

SoozeeDoozee 01-15-2011 10:36 AM

klgreene 01-15-2011 10:52 AM

Dae Kuczma 01-15-2011 11:27 AM

The black gives the quilt a striking contrast. Keep it!

Ditter43 01-15-2011 11:46 AM

Great contrast! I like it! :thumbup: :-D

Tweety2911 01-15-2011 01:25 PM

The black works for me. :thumbup:

Sheila Elaine 01-15-2011 09:00 PM

Yolanda, I like the Black & IMHO Navy or Medium Green (like in the block) would also look great. Be sure to show us when you finish up.

Annz 01-15-2011 10:20 PM

I like the black. I would keep it.

wildyard 01-15-2011 10:45 PM

the black is too much for me; I would go for the dark olive green in the fabric.
