The dark really makes the focus fabric pop.

I love the dark!

Boy that's a tough one., I vote dark, no light, no dark, no wait a minute light, no maybe the dark. Both are absolutely gorgeous. I love the poppies. I don't think you can go wrong with either one.

both look good but the black makes all the other colors pop!!

do both but i like the dark

I vote the dark for the drama of it all. The light is nice, but the way richness of the colors comes out betting in the dark. So what is the vote so far?

The dark. The red really pops off it.

Okay I will not be of much help, depends where you want to use it or display it. The dark is beautiful, rich looking, elegant. The light is quiet, comforting, cuddle up to, relaxing. I like both but I do tend to go with the black because..........simply..........all of mine are light...........so it is different.........Love them both.

Both are beautiful, but I think I prefer the light. The dark just seems to over powering.

Definitely the dark background!!

make one of each and use them on the front/back of the same quilt:~).

I vote the dark, brings out the colors. But I do like both.

Both okay but dark is much more dramatic.

Both okay but dark is much more dramatic.

I like both of them. The light one speaks of "Peace" and the dark one bring to my mind immediately the drama of a stage play with hidden objects or people.

Both are outstanding in their message.

I actually like both, make two, Spring & Winter.

The light is beautiful, but the dark is breath-taking!

The black background is so dramatic - love it.

Dark, definitely dark.

What gorgeous fabric!!! Hard to choose because they are both fantastic, however the black is very rich looking. I would love one of each.....:-)

Where can I find a pattern for your beautiful quilt???? ChrisPin

Definitely dark. Makes it pop!

Absolutely, the dark. But I agree with everyone else, it does depend on the room colors, kitty white hair on the black might be a problem on the other hand the light is more parishable.
I vote dark. Thank you for sharing really beautiful :thumbup:

I usually prefer dark, but think I like the light better this time. I'll be happy to take whichever one you don't want. ;)

I would make one of each. They are both beautiful. Not much help am I.

Gorgeous. I'd use the dark!

I like the light background but the dark is sure dramatic.

Both are beautiful!!!

I agree that the quilt's environment would dictate the color combination.

my vote is for the dark background

dark is gorgeous!!!!!!!

Dark one makes it Pop out. Nice quilt .

LIGHT

wow i like them both , the darker one is Bold the lighter one is softer !!!

Both beautiful but the dark is so striking..

I like the light. Pretty pattern

Wow I think each one looks so good and has it's own merit and I love them both so no help from me I'm afraid.

Oh, I like them both, but I especially like the dark one - there is just something about it.
The light one is also nice.
I guess it depends on what effect you want.

WOW! The dark, definitely

I like both but the dark really makes the flowers sing.
