maybe black?
ReplyDeletesunflower, ash, black ... or maybe peacock. Good luck with your decisions!
ReplyDeleteplum? or peacock blue might be pretty.
ReplyDeleteMay be navy blue?.
ReplyDeleteWhere will it be used? Who is it for? If you want to go dark, maybe a charcoal gray. But I would consider trying to get close to one of the lighter turquoise colors in some of the pieces. Looking forward to seeing what you do with this!

I was thinking a tan or lightly pattern off-white....
ReplyDeleteI can't get passed how pretty the fabrics are!!
ReplyDeletehows about a lavenderish purple?
ReplyDeletei LOVE purples.
Hi Shannon, well I took a look at the Kona colors and I would say the Kona Ash is my choice! It is a nice neutral color and would display your fabrics very well. G
ReplyDeleteI like the ash as well but if you want to add a little more color to the background how about #1028 Blue it is a light grey blue fabric that will help show case all of your fat quarters.
ReplyDeleteBlack would make the colors pop -- and I have found it to be pretty cat proof. Should be dog proof too!
ReplyDeleteomg I love those Marcia Derse FQs - I have some, too, and WHY didn't I think of using them for this QAL? You are right, they will be PERFECT. I think either a turquoise, kind of like the rings in that very centre FQ, or perhaps a wine or raisin of you want darker. Can't wait to see your work - I'll be the one drooling.
ReplyDeleteLime Green. A fun, happy, Summer color.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking with a dark charcoal or black it would look like a lovely stained glass window effect.
ReplyDeleteKona Snow, or even better, Kona Carmel. Maybe Kona Banana?
ReplyDeleteI think that Kona black would really make those colors pop.
ReplyDeleteLime would give it a Shannon appeal.
ReplyDeleteI vote for Kona Snow since you have a lot of color in your selection.
ReplyDeleteYou are so good! sorry I haven't been around lately but I will catch up reading tonight. Been busy with new job and then coming down to turkey hunt. Well I don't turkey hunt but sweet hunter does. Love the colors you are working with.
ReplyDeleteDark Chocolate Brown, you'll be surprised.
