Maple Leaf pattern
I have decided to do a quilt using the Maple Leaf pattern. I think I will use Moda Marbles in the fall colors. I can't decide on what color to do the background in. I'm not real big on black for this. I'm sure it would make the colors look good, but not wanting to use black. Would you use a light colored marble for this? What do you think would work?
Thanks

In an article on color Weeks Ringle also used a Gray Brown as a neutral for tone on tones. This made me think of walking through fall leaves and how the bright colors pop against the Gray/Brown of the ground. The blue is a good idea too. Think of maple trees against a clear blue sky on a sunny day. NOTHING more beautiful! It would be a very colorful quilt so that would have to be the look you are wanting. Let us know what you decide.
