I vote for the one on the left also. By the way, I think that is one of the prettiest QOV that I have seen. You did a very nice job.

Yes, I agree with dakotamaid. The dark blue print has a soothing pattern that isn't busy. There is a tan in the stripe and your background looks white. Very nicely done.

I vote for the blue on the left; as others have said the cream fabric in the right on fights with the colors in the quilt.

The fabric on the right has a cream background and doesn't go with the white fabric in the body of the quilt. So the one on the left.

Not the one with the cream in it. Stick to white IF you want to use a neutral.

The one on the right brings in the new tan color. Does that go along with the white in the center?
Good luck. These type of decisions are always the hardest!!

To avoid wonky lines, maybe look for a navy solid or tonal that is the same color as the blue print.
