I like the light background. Really surprised that I do because my choice is almost always the darker color. I think the light fabric helps balance the quilt more and is more restful to look at. IMHO Either way, it's beautiful!

Dark for me. The light just seems more washed out.

But I agree that it depends on what it will be used for!

DARK MAKES it stand out

I concur.

i agree!!! :thumbup: :thumbup:

I am surprised at how many liked the light background. I like both, but I think the dark really makes the red flowers stand out. That surprises me too, since I usually don't go for the black background. Go figure.

Before I even saw the pictures I thought to myself that I would prefer the dark, because generally I like strong contrast

BUT...after seeing both pictures, I would choose the light background. I think the strong reds look better on the light background, and don't need the black for drama.

The dark makes the colors really pop out. If that is what you want go with the dark. If you want a more subdued effect go with the light. They are both beautiful - you will win either way.

I like the light better

My choice, too!
