That Custard fabric would actually be great, Phyllis! It seems like the flowers would really pop out on it.
I know it may sound crazy, but I'm really, really thinking of using a denim-looking background.

I found a really pretty shade of creamy yellow that I think would look really good. I also have a full bolt of RanLon bleached muslin that I bought last summer when it was on sale that I am considering.
I haven't purchased the yellow yet, I would like to get some feedback on what others are using. I think someone showed some bright yellow that looked fabulous but that is not really me.
The yellow I found is at Connecting Threads and is on clearence and is called custard if any one wants to look.
I hope I haven't rambled on too much, I have a tendency to do that. I think I am forgetting how to spell also! LOL!
Thanks for "listening".

Its me who is using the yellow, its not actually as bright as the photo showed but I really like it.
I was thinking that a brown background would look good with Pink, lemon and pale greens

I have lots of pics now ready to help you all, but I wanted to post first that I think it would be more helpful if you can all hold off until I get everything posted?
If there are comments coming in between them, they will be harder to follow, so please, if you can bear with me for the next few minutes, I will do everything as quick as I can, then let you know when I have finished, and you can all chip in then.
Is that OK?
