Look at your pattern and decide if you want white to "jump out" at you.

Like the quilt as is. I would not add white.

You might also consider using tan, beige, or gray for a background if it's going to be a "used a lot" quilt.
I worked hard making a 9-patch & snowball quilt for my Mom, used white in the snowballs. Showed it to her, asked her opinion without telling her it was made for her. She said nicely that it had too much white for her taste, would get dirty easily. I had to make another...in darker colors!!
Anyone wanna buy a lovely quilt? :cry:

I use white all the time for my king sized quilts . I wash all the fabrics before they come into my sewing room and I buy only quilt store quality.I used to buy Joanne and saw too much fading and running in some place mats. I am sold on quilt store quality and buy on sale to save.
