But, putting it aside always helps, for when I pull it out much later, the right choice becomes obvious.<br /><br />I am always amazed at your ability to keep going, and you KNOW when the right color comes along. I can't wait to see what you decide to use! When it was between red and green, I chose the green. In today's picture, my first choice was brown, but I think brown is too predicable and makes it rather normal.

Then I stepped back. They all look really good, but to me (and it surprised me because I always like red) the lime green print seemed to make it look the best. I did not notice that it emphasized the yellow. But as so many have said, your eye is better, and you see the colors as they are. There is such variance in photographs and in how each computer "sees" those photos. I eagerly anticipate seeing how you will choose!Elaine/Muddling Throughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07542943000832182111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4049103935243328127.post-21418590040903440382011-07-01T15:32:21.143-05:002011-07-01T15:32:21.143-05:00I like the grey backgroung squares.

But my new favorite is the beige with gray and lavender circles: You still get the effect of a floating grid, but it's just lighter and I think it lets the quilt breathe a bit more.<br /><br />The lime green (which looks more puce-yellow on my screen) is <i>very</i> quirky in a fun way and makes me think of <i>you</i> more than the other choices.

It provides the necessary rest for the eyes, but acts more like a neutral than any others. probably because it is a medium tone as opposed to the light or dark options.
