Definitely the dark. It POPS!

Oh wow! So hard of a choice.

My first thought is the Dark - what pop it brings to the reds - really gets your attention.

The Light on the other hand is more subdued - the florals are still quite exciting but the overall quilt has a more quieting affect.

So it depends on where you plan on showcasing the quilt.

I tend to lean toward the Dark as I really like the colour enhancement.

The above being said - likely not much help. LOL :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

I think it depends on what pattern you will be quilting on it. That would make a difference. But I do love both!

I like them both so it depends on what you want the look to be. The dark is dynamic but the light is beautiful.

I started working on one with a light background when I first started quilting. At the moment, I have 2 quilts in progress that have dark backgrounds (one black & one very dark purple) and one with a mixed light backround. I like them all, so it doesn't really matter to me.

Light for me!

Definitely the dark

How about making it reversible - dark one side, light the other.

I think both are really pretty, but if I had to pick just one, guess it would be the light, just because of the mottled fabric. On the other hand, I really like the black too and have been wanting to make a quilt with black background and really bright blocks.
Ohh, really good idea Cat.
