This photo is of some of the unframed cross stitch and embroidered items I've collected at opshops. I have just finished sewing a black border around each one, and now I want incorporate them into a quilt/wall hanging. I can't make up my mind what kind of fabric to use as the background - plain or patterned? In this picture they are lying on the piece of gingham I bought recently. I don't want the background fabric to detract from the individual pieces, but a plain colour might be too simple. Any ideas?

That's a fantastic idea, Gina! Thrifty and clever. :)
Great that all the little abandoned pieces will have a new life. Someone has put a lot of skill into them in the past. I like the black border and the gingham looks good so I think that should be used in the quilt.
I like the way that it looks with the border and on the gingham, great idea.
