I really like the dragonfly on the black background- seems to show up better.

I love both of them! The black makes the blue jump out, the cream makes him float! I love this pattern.

I vote for the black. The dragonfly stands out more as a focal point.

The name of this pattern is Dance of the Dragonflies at Southwindsquilts.com if you didn't see the post -Do you know this Dragonfly pattern.

I saw a link for the pattern here on the QB in the last couple of days……I LOVE the black background….It really allows the dragon fly to POP…………
