Depending on which Granny Squares pattern you are doing (I have one that has a med to dark brown as the background and it is a lot of little squares) when I looked online there are several different patterns with this name.

    I would also look at a dark blue - it looks like there are only a couple of the dark blue prints in the line. Here is a link to not only the fabric but if you scroll down you can see some quilts made with the line and different background colors so that may help also. What ever you choose it will be wonderful, it is a really cute line.

    The pattern is actually the Great Granny Squared...I think there is only one out there right now, at least that I have found. Thanks for the tips and the link!
