I like the plaid better, if you mean for the back. It's softer, competes less with -- and compliments -- the bear fabric better, in my opinion. I'd use the bear fabric as is for the front, as in a whole quilt, maybe with a ruffle as you suggested, or a border of the fine checked purple gingham if you can find it, to match the bear's bowtie.
