Topic: Need help for color way for sizzles (1/1) - The Quilt Show Forum

Welcome, Guest

Join us on a TQS exclusive 12-month creative journey with Becky Goldsmith as we bring you "Sizzle," a stunning quilt designed especially for TQS.

Each month we will provide photos, detailed directions for a portion of the quilt, and full-size patterns. Becky has also created a selection of "how-to" videos to guide you along the way.

Let's use this Topic "Sizzle Show and Tell" as a place to show off your beautiful Sizzle Blocks. That way, you know where to come to see what everyone is doing.
The topics that apply to each month are a good place to ask questions or make suggestions for each block.
AND when you post your photos to Social Media, like Instagram, Facebook, etc., use either of these hash tags so everyone there will be able to find our wonderful work:

If you go to her website you can look at the gallery under each pattern and get an idea what colors as background look like in quilts that have similar paper pieced circles.

Hello guys, I am considering To start Sizzle and I have been auditing fabrics.

Here is one colorway I have been considering.
I have gone to the fabric store and picked these fabrics from the grunge line from Moda. The print is a fabric that was in my stash I only have 1 yard of it and I do not need to use it but the colors match perfectly.

I wonder what colors would be missing, should I get higher contrast / value?
What color would you use for background, I am thinking of grey but open to other lights.

Thank you
