Thank you! Brighter would work fine. I chose the gray and black because they play nicely with the pebble fabric. I had gone to a sewing shop to ask for help picking other colors and the ladies I talked to couldn't think farther than black and gray, just like me.

As long as your have strong contrasting colors, with the darkest representing the maze walls, your maze will pop. The top of the walls should be a fabric that has no appeal. Strange, yes, but less is better. If you have a busy or striking fabric on the top of the walls, your eye will have to work hard to see beyond that.

After making many of these mazes, the best suggestions are: the top of the walls should be bland, the walls should be dark, and the pathway should be busy. The eye should be drawn to the path and then to the walls, which creates depth. Take a look at my maze pictures and you can decide which fabric values appeal to you!

Have fun with it!

I have a to give my daughter all the credit for the Pez idea. I was so thrilled when she sent the pictures to me! Why didn't I think of taking pictures that way?

I like this quilt over some of the labyrinths that have taller "walls" forming the labyrinth. Your lower walls make the pathways more evident. Can you direct me to a place I could buy the pattern? I also love the pathways with fabric simulating something you might actually walk on. If you just made up the pattern, then my hat is definitely off to you! Gorgeous quilt.
