    Default Ideas for this awesome (I think) background?

    I'm thinking a curvy tree with funky leaves, but that would cover up the African print in the center. I'd welcome some other ideas!

    Why do you need to add anything?
    Just enjoy the pieced fabric.

    Now that's an interesting idea! I like your "outside the box" way of thinking. I wonder how I could quilt the middle section to accent the funky figures and trees?

    Any ideas like this silhouette of a dancing girl? Would this kind of design look nice on my background? I love this! (This is a quilt by Cathy Greier http://cathygeier.blogspot.com/)
