Another vote for the grey background - both because it makes the other brown objects (especilly the boots and the guitar) pop, and because I like the look of the old, weathered boards.

I would have to say both!!! I can see them both in quilts, with totally different looks!!!

The gray one looks like what a REAL barn looks like here in Central Oregon!

What is it going to be put with? Is this the back or part of the front? I like them both, but the brown just a bit better.

I like the second one.
What are you going to do with it??

I like the second, the colors don't get washed away as in the first.

I like the grey best!

I vote for gray. The gray has a softer look.

I like the brown one the best - but can't you buy both ;) - - -

There's so many possibilities and combinations with both, but to stand alone, I prefer the second print.
