color challenged please help
I have been wanting to make a single irish chain quilt. And today MSQC has some things on special and she got me to buy something. (I can only be strong so long )
With this Sophie jelly roll, what background fabric do you think? I am anti-white.. so I was thinking about one of the white grunges because they are not pristine and white. Then I also thought about a light gray
Do you guys have any suggestions? I am color challenged Thanks

When I made my Double Irish Chain I kept changing one of the fabrics - it was driving me crazy and after I got about half way done with making the squares it finally hit me it was the white I chose and not the back-up color to my main fabric. Looking at the jelly roll you chose I would think a very pale off-white, maybe one with a lighter print. Take a few pieces to a quilt shop with a good selection and audition them with other fabrics. You will know it when it pops.

MSQC suggest using Kona Cotton Oyster:

Otherwise, the fabric in the lower right had corner might also work but then may be a little too busy.
