Of course a solid white provides the best contrast. But low-volume prints can add dimension/depth. If the contrast is discernible from 10 feet, you are good to go. Wishing Bruce a speedy transition out of his monstrous splinter!!! And Happy Holidays to all of you :-)Preetihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15363550140143647850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4814262528756246837.post-14269807783842575912019-12-18T20:56:36.774-07:002019-12-18T20:56:36.774-07:00Great progress on all your projects!

I think you made the right decision to reverse sew those block and replace the backgrounds...much as it must have been a royal pain to do.

I was on the fence with the Bonnie Hunter mystery this year until I remembered that every year she want 8,000,000 (plus or minus 5) triangles to be made in one week. Nope. I really like that quick curve petaled flower, though. That I could do! Glad you're back in the brain saddle again :)Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06306854459459257368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4814262528756246837.post-60820202187875419292019-12-17T16:06:34.032-07:002019-12-17T16:06:34.032-07:00Hi Cathy!

I'm hoping that you get a catch to enjoy the season and each other. I'm sorry that you recently lost a good friend. That is so hard; the void is never fully filled. {{Hugs}} a bunch for both of you. I hold you both closely in prayer. Merry Christmas to you and your family. ~smile~ RoseanneHome Sewn By Ushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13943739387560629258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4814262528756246837.post-19215966594813307802019-12-17T08:32:57.513-07:002019-12-17T08:32:57.513-07:00I like the change to the white background fabric, ...I like the change to the white background fabric, too - but I think you could leave dome of the others as is to get some variety.

Got waylaid by Bonnie Hunter's Frolic mystery clues. I'm only doing half, but since it's weekly, I can't get behind on them. And sometimes you just have to slow down and catch your breath. You'll be cranking out new quilts in no time. Love the blog header, a varitable rainbow of rainbows. Good vibes being sent to Bruce.<br />Pat<br />MissPathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06807348837446241284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4814262528756246837.post-59434565672074975062019-12-17T07:50:20.601-07:002019-12-17T07:50:20.601-07:00I like both versions!

But I've never met a quilt that was too 'busy' for me so... as long as you like it, that's all that matters. <br />And the giant red nine patch made me think...were we separated at birth? I so would have done that too!

I'm going to wait until all the blocks are done and see what it all looks like as I start assembling.
