Why not make a reversible quilt one dark one light and voila problem solve:) Have fun choosing let us know on your decision.

But my first thought with the dark one was....
Oh how the white cat hair would show up all over that! lol
When you have a house full of furry critters you think things like that first!

I thought exactly that too, with a long-haired white cat recently added to the herd, but I'd still be happy to take one of each! (I did just buy a dozen lint rollers....) Or better yet, maybe, a reversible; just flip it over when the mood strikes!

Want them both!!!

Debd 09-29-2011 03:43 AM

I like the dark, it brings out the colors!

I can honestly say that I like them both. This is beautiful, never seen this pattern before.

OH MY. I knew it was different but didn't realize how different. Personaly I LOVE the dark background with this fabric. Not only does if show up more it is less apt to show any dirt that could get on it.

Dark :thumbup:

GJoyce 09-29-2011 03:58 AM

Toadmama, I LOVE your kitty.

lfletcher 09-29-2011 04:00 AM

The dark is really dynamic, but I think I like the light best.

TexasSunshine 09-29-2011 04:01 AM

I like the light better for that fabric but would look good with dark with another fabric. I like that pattern, very dramatic.

SueDor 09-29-2011 04:02 AM

The darker one brings out the red more. I like it.

Darlene516 09-29-2011 04:02 AM

I like the dark. More dramatic!

DebsShelties 09-29-2011 04:05 AM

WOW....thanks for sharing what a dramatic difference a background makes! I
like the darker one but if the room was dark or had predominantly brown tones in it I would go with the lighter one. What is the name of the pattern or did
you design it yourself?

Lucky Lindy 09-29-2011 04:12 AM

The dark is more striking.

I am thinking the same thing.

MimiLinda 09-29-2011 04:44 AM

They are both beautiful. One of each?

cjaye44 09-29-2011 04:44 AM

The dark is much more dramatic but I like the light also...not much help here.

sailsablazin 09-29-2011 04:48 AM

I like the dark. It makes the quilt pop!

Lioness3xs 09-29-2011 04:51 AM

The light seems larger in overall size than the dark background, but I love the drama of the dark. I prefer the dark.

quiltlin 09-29-2011 04:53 AM

Definitely the dark---look how it pulls out all of the colors and it really looks like a stained glass window. Beautiful!

AprilG 09-29-2011 04:55 AM

The black background really makes the colors POP! Love them both, really love the black.

AprilG 09-29-2011 04:55 AM

The black background really makes the colors POP! Love them both, really love the black.

OOPS! sent twice. Can't figure out how to delete. Sorry

However, it is worth saying twice. Great quilts, whichever color you pick.

jeanneb52 09-29-2011 05:04 AM

Both how could one choose? It's apples and oranges time

lindalou 09-29-2011 05:07 AM

They both are great - love the contrast! Make one of each.

katlady3 09-29-2011 05:09 AM

Both quilts are beautiful, I really like the dark one the colors pop.

ljptexas 09-29-2011 05:10 AM

I like the light better. The dark is, to me, tooo dark... It will be gorgeous!!!! So falley (such a word?).
