I actually wound up using the gray dot from the Ruby line from Bonnie and Camille. It was the right color and the dots are so small they add a little texture but read as a solid.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15612686505076697159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2095106905642559625.post-66338220832122155632012-08-20T00:52:45.682-07:002012-08-20T00:52:45.682-07:00Personally I love white!

My first choice would be white since I'm unhealthily obsessed and know at some point I'll make an all white quilt - not whole cloth, pieced, but all out of white. I do love the idea if playing with aquas, too. Mint would be pretty, and I think close to the pale blue in the prints. Or go darker teal like everglade or jade.

So, let me see...there is a nice new grey called iron, which is somewhere between medium grey and ash.Steel is also a new colour, just a little lighter than coal.Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17104447915995814288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2095106905642559625.post-37983301780170396142012-08-19T20:46:41.488-07:002012-08-19T20:46:41.488-07:00Keeping in mind that I am not at all a grey person...Keeping in mind that I am not at all a grey person... I would match the pink or the lightest green in the light strand prints. I used green/red in my Joy quilt and I think it would blend too much in a Sparkle Punch....as would white. I suppose a grey would work - there's grey in the light strands, after all. But a light one, not a dark one.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15494557452802595536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2095106905642559625.post-70319040444019488752012-08-19T20:38:49.898-07:002012-08-19T20:38:49.898-07:00What about an aqua or a green, just a couple of sh...What about an aqua or a green, just a couple of shades lighter than the predominate aqua or green in the collection? Gray would also work well I think. Probably a very dark or a very light grey would work best because of the medium shades of most of the prints. Coal sounds pretty good (and has a season appropriate name too!). :)Jenellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18302517967957067772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2095106905642559625.post-89040180093954269142012-08-19T20:33:36.666-07:002012-08-19T20:33:36.666-07:00There is that block in the quilt picture link that...There is that block in the quilt picture link that has different points/central square (the one with the deer??) - for the really light backgrounds you could have a light square, then used one of the darker prints for the points.

Ouch! <br /><br />I think Joann's carries a gray called medium gray but I'm not 100% sure. I like all the Kona grays and think it would really set off the fabrics.

Just sayin'!<br /><br />I don't think the light-background prints would get lost on white, but I hear you about its lack of practicality. I love Coal - it's not too dark but it's dark enough to make brights pop. I used it on my crane star pillow, as a reference.<br /><br />Have fun and good luck!felicityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18175463051620709590noreply@blogger.com
