Gradyk, I have made several quilts using black backgrounds and bright colors and I just love them. I have attached a picture of my Sizzle quilt that has a black
background. Audition what you have and then make a decision. I am sure what ever you decide to do, you will like it. If not, I bet you change your mind and
make a smaller other project with the blocks you started with and did not give the look you wanted and start over. I have done that more than once.
Block you make that don't work never go to waste, I alway just put them in something else.
