ReplyDeleteI have used black, gray and white in the background of three separate quilts. So far, I've loved the look of the white, but then, I haven't washed the project yet, so I don't know if that "love" will still be there after a washing, even with color catcher sheets involved!

ReplyDeleteWhite or cream has been my background choice in the past. But I made a challenge this year to try a non-white background. The pattern and fabric for a top are chosen and ready but the background is still in limbo. The "Grunge" basics have been auditioned
ReplyDeleteI like to use off-white more than white, because I love softer colors. But I'm beginning to have a hankering to try some colors, like an aqua, which I'm going to try this year.
ReplyDeletei love snow white, but not kona snow
