If you decide on the purple, be sure to use a white batting that is opaque so you don't get any shadowing on top. If the batting allows some of the color through, it will dull the white in the top.

I'd use the purple I would think the white would get dirty very quickly beautiful quilt love the bright colours.

I know you love purple but I think it may be too dark. I always choose my backing fabric on what is the color of the thread I am going to quilt with. I would look for a white background with dots or speckles of the colors in your quilt. Nothing in your stash??

I definitely like the purple

Thanks for all the help. I bought new fabric today, a light violet with dots. I will just save my other fabric for other quilts.

For a 2 year or under I would do a light color. For teens or adults I like the purple.

The purple would be great!

What about using purple bobbin thread with the purple backing?

Dina

I thought about this, but I was really more concerned that the dark purple might "show" through the white on the top. I will save my purple for another quilt.... Good suggestion though. Thanks.
