My Friends, my friends... I'd love to have your feedback....
I am putting together a new and very exciting linen quilt... It is "built" on a very unusual tablecloth of Madeira linen. In this photo you can see the exquisite embroidery work. Pardon the wrinkles - I didn't iron before taking these photos.
One of the first decisions to make is what color "underlayment" , or background, to use. In these first two photos, the piece is laying on a white Dupioni silk. I think it makes the colors really beautiful - but the white is too white - an ivory color would be better...
Now, here is the piece laying on a color called "Green Tea", a very lovely delicate green... but not too green...
and a detail shot...
OK - imagine it nicely pressed, and then beautifully quilted... which one do you like better for underlayment - WHITE, or GREEN. Do tell me what you think, because I am really stumped....
Thanks much,
Kate
UPDATE: SUNDAY EVENING: THE GREEN WINS !!!! BY A LANDSLIDE... STAY TUNED AND WE'LL SEE HOW WE CAN MAKE THIS PROJECT MOVE FORWARD! THANKS EVERYONE WHO GAVE FEEDBACK! kATE

Green for me,the over cloth stands out more!
I think that the green works very nicely too!!
I love the green!
I agree with the others---the green is beautiful and really highlights the embroidery in the tablecloth.
I like the contrast with the green as well.
Green:)
I'm late to the party, but I like green too. :-)
