Is your background color always white?
Today someone posted a picture of an antique quilt that her great grandmother made. The background was pink and so pretty! Myself, I always use Kona Snow for backgrounds and now I'm wondering why?
With so many beautiful colors out there why always stick with white, cream, snow? Is this a generation thing? I'm going to start looking for use able colors for my quilts.

Almost never! I use black as my background the most, I like how it sets off the colors. I have too many pets for white anything to be a good idea anyway, so I don't really think to use it all that often. I really only ever use whites or pastels in quilts I'm giving away!

I've seen antique quilts with red, yellow or orange backgrounds. they actually look great. That put me on an orange bend. I think I'm over it now. I like black but have three cats so don't often use it.
