blue and off white |
How important can it get! Your background color is the velvet your other colors shine out from. It makes a HUGE difference in how our colors look together.

The old saying about
fabric selection is
"You can pick one fabric for your lover. And then every one else has to dance with him."
It's true. Find one color or fabric you are head over heels in love with and every one else has to show them to their best advantage.
It's also true that white isn't white and black isn't exactly black. Walk into the paint store and you'll find at least 50 different whites at least.
Do you need all of those?
Actually yes. Different whites will change how you see your color combinations. Ecru and Khaki are also neutral. And they change the look completely!
For the next couple sessions we'll look at how we pick up backgrounds, what they accomplish for our finished quilt, and how to pick the prints that will make your lover shine.
