Anyway, I made my fabric pull, and I'm just in love with these colors together. As I said on flickr, I want to stay away from using white as a background again. I'm thinking Kona Ash or Medium Grey - which one do you think? (I'm worried one is too light, and the other is two dark, but I've never worked with either before - just Kona Coal, which is a super dark gray).

Please help! Opinions greatly appreciated :)

I love the purple/lavenders that you chose. I lean towards the grey as a backbround, the ash may make the purples look muddy where the grey should cool them if that makes sence at all. Regardless it will be beautiful!

ReplyDeleteI use the Medium grey quite a bit recently and I love it! I like your choice of colors!!
ReplyDeleteNot until December. That's a whole year away....hmmmm;)
I wish Kona would come out with a color in between the two. I've worked with both - Kona Ash is one of my all-time favorites, but it might wash out the light purples you've pulled. The darker gray would probably be a safer bet for the fabrics you've chosen. Looks like it will be a fun quilt!
ReplyDeletePersonally, I'd go with Kona Coal....but that's just me. Ultimately, you have to decide which YOU like best.
ReplyDeleteCan you do a small test block? I think one's too light and one's too dark but maybe when you see it put together it will just speak to you one way or the other.
ReplyDeleteI use medium grey a lot - I think it would work really well with your (beautiful) fabric pull. It's not too dark IRL.
ReplyDeleteI would need to see the solids with the fabrics in order to make a decision!
ReplyDeleteGreat fabrics!! I need those pearl bracelets...I've been holding out. I like the medium grey to really make your prints stand out. :)
