Please vote for Stack'n Whack background

I love quilting. I think I do very well at quilting. But, I suck at color choices. I'm stuck on what color to use for the background in the stack'n whack quilt I'm making out of my great bug fabric. The quilt will be for a 6 year old boy.

So, I'm leaving it up to you guys. Vote for which background color you like and I'll tally the votes and go with the majority.

Here's the choices:

I would definitely go with the yellow, but it's not so much a color choice as it is a value choice, the stack and whack portion simply shows up much better on the yellow because there is more contrast between the values with this choice than with the blue or the orange. (Especially the orange, the blocks just almost disappear into the background with this choice).

I've been a lurker, and if I may vote it's for the light blue - it seems to make the fabric color pop!

I have to go with Yellow, it sets off the blue so great. This is coming from a person who doesn't like yellow all that much.

I like the blue best. The red is very bold, and is a good choice, but I think the blue makes the S&W pinwheel show up better. That particular yellow is too pale, but a darker orangey-yellow might work.

I'm voting for lime green. Oh, wait, that wasn't one of the choices. Well, the red then. (But Lime Green would be ..sublime!)

I am having to vote for the yellow. The red drowns out the bugs, and the blue is nice, but just too much blue. The yellow really pulls out the starts and the bugs nicely.

The red would be my first choice, light blue my second choice. I don't really like the yellow, but that may just be the way my computer shows the color. After reading the other responses, you may find so many different opinions that we haven't really helped you much :)

Mardi, the snail's shell disappears on the red/orange b/g - would depend on how many snail shells would end up touching in the final setting. It is probably too soon to make a decision about the b/g until more of the segments are seen. Jennifer in Ottawa

Hi Mardi, I really like it on the yellow. However, I asked my 5 year old son which one he liked and he liked the red.

Don't know how much help we're being!

Really like the light blue best as it does not seem to take away from any of the great bugs! This is such a fun question, at least for all the rest of us! Marilyn in Moravia

Actually, I should probably have explained the yellow. Something happened with the photo and I couldn't get the yellow to show up right. It really is a pretty lemon yellow.

1st choice: Can you find a green and gold fabric that would match catapillar smiles AND the brighter gold? That might be my first choice. A stripe would be very appealing to children.

2nd choice: A turquoise blue that matches exactly the turquoise in the focus fabric's catapillar boots, a bit brighter than the light blue you have there.

3rd choice: A gold that matches exactly the focus fabric's stars. The yellow you have is a little duller than the one in the focus fabric.

4th choice: Red! It has the right brightness.

5th choice: Blue.

6th choice: Yellow.

I like the blue - the red is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too strong and the yellow is sort of insipid. Have fun. Sharon
