Ok, hold the presses. I hadn't thought about a green background. So, take a look. I really like that one! Green for the background and orange for a thin border then the focus fabric as a wider border. What do you think?

Love it! Go with the green!

That is very cool! It doesn't compete with anything else and give it zip. I'd probably still go with red, but this would be a very close second.
R> Ok, hold the presses. I hadn't thought about a green background. So,
I really like the red also. But I got to thinking about the recipient of this quilt. He is a 6 year old, very serious young man who was adopted from the Ukraine by his parents about a year ago. Part of the reason why he is so serious is that he is 2 years older than his sister (also adopted by the same family) and he had spent all his years in the orphanage defending and taking care of his sister. Once I thought about it in that way, I think the red would be a little too "deep" for him. I want to give him a bright, happy quilt.
Then on to his sisters quilt. She is getting a quilt like I made for my granddaughter (same type fabric, different cats) with a bright pink background.

Howdy! Green.
Trust me on this; I'm a professional color picker (sounds silly but it's true). I used to do this at the lqs, for money.
