    I agree, you need the contrast and it would still tie in with all the colours.

    I'm a visual person too. I'd lay them on various color fabrics and see which one I liked best. Gorgeous work so far. Love your choices.

    O.K. so how do you make this a quilt as you go? That is beautiful, but I don't know how you not have seams showing on the back of your quilt.

    I also think burgney would look great. It would be hard to find a darker blue to go with the blue.

    I would audition the different suggestions in your bedroom, on the bed, then step back to the doorway and see which looks the best with your walls. You could even snap a picture of each, although sometimes the colors in a snapshot are not true. Since we aren't seeing your walls, we can't really say what would look the best.

    Darker one of colors. Try some colors and lay squares down on top to see what you like.
