You have enough busy-ness going on already. The mint is good, as it allows the lighter prints to stand up for themselves, but a deep colour could also work. I would be inclined to take a few of your blocks to a shop and audition backgrounds, you can always be a bit picky and not quite like any of them enough!then you can come home and rethink? <br />I feel a dark navy might 'absorb' your blue stripy affair, so you wouldn't want to go with that without checking first.<br /><br />Sorry to be so opinionated, but you did ask.mammafairyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08970531305586032149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1842721577085503845.post-3431645775770319942012-03-02T14:40:20.311+00:002012-03-02T14:40:20.311+00:00Decisions, decisions....hmmm...I like the mint or ...Decisions, decisions....hmmm...I like the mint or maybe a buttery yellow?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14929622814183943317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1842721577085503845.post-86537496590547929662012-03-02T07:50:03.043+00:002012-03-02T07:50:03.043+00:00Coral or Mint for me please.

If you have to get some more and the colors aren't exactly the same, I still think that it would look good as long as you arranged the blocks so the two shades we well dispersed.

I'd like to see how they look on charcoal or the Kona pepper. I'm doing some pieced circles that I want to put on newsprint background but it can be tricky to find and expensive when you do!

I like the coral. It's warm, makes the colours pop, but won't blend in too much with your coral prints. The mint looks cool and might give it a fresh or retro feel -- but I'd try it out with all the blocks first to make sure that it isn't overwhelming. White would also be a fabulous background and a great safe choice for piecing them together as you go.
