    I would consider using a gray fabric. I think it would work well with the green and yellow fabrics you have chosen.

    gorgeous - my daughter is undergoing chemo and she still likes the look of things crisp and nice, so I would go with the white.

    By the way, could you please tell me the names of your blocks - absolutely beautiful!

    Thanks

    I'd go with white if that pleases you most. Pale beige or grey would also work.
    Were it I, I'd go with pale grey.
    It's going to be beautiful whatever you choose.

    I know a lot of people have suggested gray. I think it will look more like a John Deere quilt if you use gray or black. I would go with the white since it is the color of the uniforms. Green, gold and white.

    How about football print? Brown goes with yellow and green.

    Regular hydrogen perxoide right out of the bottle and put on blood will remove it. Learned this from my best friend who is a R.N. then wash as usual. Perxoide just eats up protein which is blood. It does not bleach out any other color. It will even work on dried blood. Best wishes for your friend.
