I prefer the second one just as fabric. Sorry, missed the quilt top completely when I first looked at it... checking again...
oic, you just added it to this thread. We must be crossing in the mail, uh, cyberspace!
I think the first one matches better. But I don't know that it has to match closely.
So, after all my dithering:
1st one matches the top better
2nd one I like better
