I tend to lean toward variegated. But I have a few questions. Who is doing the quilting? Do you like the quilting color to show on the black. The reason I ask these questions is, if you are doing the quilting and are like me . . . my quilting might not be 'good enough' to stand out on black, so I might want to 'hide' it. But if going to the quilters then I love to see color on the black.
