These are the batiks I am using for a BOM. I'm trying to decide which accent/background color to use. The solid will show up in each block and be the border. I making this just for fun with no plan for the finished quilt. So I just want it to be nice.

I like the Tan ,but I keep looking ,the yellow really brings the color out bright. So I will say Yellow. joyce

I think the yellow is too much. The creamy one really showcases the colors in the batiks, the yellow seems to sort of shout over them and drown them out.

I like the cream one in the first photo.

I'm not partial to yellow, but I think it works really well with the batiks, so I vote for yellow.

I like the yellow/orange one, tacked between the red and blues. It may give you a wake up pop.

Yellow makes it lively and cheerful, tan makes it calm.

I do think the yellow might be too bright in a large quilt.

I agree with cheaha39, that one will make the others look really good. I also like the yellow, makes the other fabrics rich looking.
