    Red face Memory Angel quilt
    I am going to make an angel memory wall hanging for Christmas. My first thought was --of course the Angel wings are white! What to use for a background? Any suggestions are welcome.

    Varying shades of blue - for backgrounds for day time and night time angels!

    you could go with white to show off all the colors best, and just outline in a grey or darker shade of grey.
    are you doing redwork, then white.

    Alternately you could do gold wings.

    I found a sky blue fabric with clouds on it at my local WalMart.
