Another New Read With A Quilt

"I curl up in my white iron bed, wrap my mother's quilt around me, close my eyes, and I'm instantly asleep. That night I dream of dark places, bleak, cold white floors, and grey eyes."

author E L James from Fifty Shades of Grey

I've just started reading on Fifty Shades of Grey.  


And there is a quilt mentioned in the story.  Since I'm at the very beginning, it may never be mentioned again.


The quilt belongs to the main character, Ana.  At this point, I really don't know her personality, but this is a vague idea of what I think it may look like.

When I'm not reading, I've been working on the Omigosh quilt.  The fabric squares are 2 inch square and I'm preparing them into 1/2 inch squares for the quilt.



I was thinking of using a cream/beige background.

                           

But after starting 50 Shades of Grey, I was wondering what it would look like with a grey background.

                        

Which color of background do you think will work better - cream/beige or grey?

  1. First of all, I have been day-dreaming about this pattern ever since you posted about it! I love this quilt! I think if you are using mostly bright colors, a light cream would be my choice...but the gray would look awesome too!!
