    Need help for color way for sizzles

    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

    Hello Milo
    Are you open to colors other than light for the background. I used med to dark blues on a Judy Neimeyer pattern
    that I really liked. 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.

        Milo, The kits have about 20 fabrics. Are you planning to add lots more? Hot pink would add a pop. I love lots of fabrics, can't have too many for me.

          Go to a fabric store and audition fabric. Be sure to take to the front windows, because incandescent lights will turn the fabric a different color!

          And yes, you need more fabrics! Get a variety of tone-on-tones.
