    I also like a rose color,maybe a little deeper rose or deeper blue. I,like others have found a color I never thought I would like is the one I end up choosing. Sometimes I will audition several colors, take a picture of them seperately, & then look at them a couple days later & I see them in a new light! :lol: :lol:

    I would just try different fabrics by laying your blocks on them to decide. There's quite a bit of blue, so maybe a light yellow would be nice.

    I guess it depends on the look you're going for; soft and gentle or that pop they're describing.

    Yes, I agree...some contrast would set off the blocks...instead of disappear. All depends on YOUR goals! Do you WANT to bring in your wall colors? There is always taupe, light/or/dark. Gosh, only YOU know when it's RIGHT! (smile)

    I would lay several colors next to it and watch the changes in the way they look. White has a tendancy to wash out the colors it surrounds. Black or really dark colors will overwhelm and be center stage. Personally, I would go with a mid-range tone and use a color I love. A blue may be too much or just right for you. Any of the colors in your gorgeous fabrics or even a repeat of one of the fabrics would be great. Now that I have completely confused you, I will go fix supper.

    Ditto, I love those colors.
    Ditto for me too, or I would look for a deeper blue than in your blue polka dot. Mostly I think the dark rose color that is in your rose pattern would really tie it all in.

    I think a blue at about the intensity of the blue polka dot or no darker than the cobalt blue of your room or light cream would be the best. It would continue the soft look of the quilt.

    When I did my string quilt I didn't do any joiners. You could see if you like that look. There is no matching seams with this type quilt so it is easy. Love you colors.
