I would use a white on black print, maybe with some red in it.
Or a red on white might look nice. Is it for a male or female? For a male I might go with blue and black. Also depending on how much black is in the quilt, you may want to consider black batting.
Do you have a picture of the top? That may help with suggestions!

I'm in the process of a black and white quilt and have black with sage green, pink and yellow hearts on it for the backing of it. The top is strictly black and white, but , I wanted to add a little colour.

I have been making several bags/totes/purses. My husband looked at all of them last night - he LOVES the insides because some of them have such a contrast - he thinks contrast is great - maybe something really bright!?
