Let's pretend i don't already have 10 or 12 projects going right now .... ok?
I got a book called 15 minutes of play...improvisational quilts. there are about 8 quilts in there that i want to make.
I started with a simple one. i am piecing brown, beige, tan scraps onto a foundation piece that is 3 1/2" x 12 1/2". it will finish at 3x12. the strips will be pieced horizontally....with plain colored strips of the same size. i want to make it kind of large so i need 96 brown scrap strips. i have about 30 so far.
But, i can't decide what to use for the opposing color. yellow would give it a great contrast.
Green also gives a good contrast.
Red is pretty good, too. but i am thinking it is too close in color to the browns.
At first i was thinking purple....but now i have just about rejected the purple.
So, what do you think....which color should i use? a different color? the more i look at it....the more i can't decide. of course, i still have some time to decide. it's not like i'll have those other 60 strips pieced by ....
tomorrow

Actually I think all those bright colors make the browns look drab. How about muslin so there is a good contrast, but no fighting for the limelight?
