    I like the gold or orange.. the bright one... it will make all those colors pop in your batiks.. the cream will not

    you need to use a batik ! I would go with something else. I f you are using batiks ,you must keep it batik for the background.

    The bright yellow. It really makes the other fabrics stand out. The other one tones it down.

    The batiks are beautiful. The cream and yellow take beautiful out of the equation. You need a dark color.Try using one of your darker batiks instead for the solid color.

    Cream for me. Every quilt needs some yellow for sunshine, but that yellow may be a little too glaring, IMO.

    I don't mean to be rude but I would not use either of those colors. I don't really see how they tye into the colors you have for your blocks. On my monitor the yellow seems to be too yellow as I see more of an orange/yellow in the batiks. But this is just MHO. I certainly don't mean to hurt your feelings.

    I like the yellow. Seems to bring out the batiks.
