My vote is for the bones first and the dark solid second.

But what fun no matter what you choose

Another vote for the bones in the first picture. That is going to be one cute quilt. I predict your friend will cry when she sees what you've made for her.

I like the bones and the darker brown. The light solid is too light and blahhh/lifeless for me.

I definitely like the browns! I think it depends on which picture is your/her favorite. The darker one makes the yorkie face pop, but the lighter one brings out the sitting down/full body picture better.

If it's going to be a usable throw quilt, I'd go with the bones fabric. If it's supposed to be a photo gallery-type wall hanging then I'd choose the darker brown.

Your layout looks great.

I vote for the bones. However, for the small pictures, I might frame them with a thin line of white. The large pictures have a nice big area of white around them and they show up very nicely.

This is exactly what I was about to say - the White is crucial in this quilt I think.

Bones! And I like the use of black behind the pictures. What a cute little dog and the use of the pictures makes this a treasure. Glad you were able to find the bones for this project!
