My vote is black!

I prefer black, too.

The white is too light, but the black makes it POP!

Like everyone else, I vote black. Makes it pop!

I like the black because the colors stand out. With the white background some of the colors just blend in and the 'big statement' is lost.

I like the black best but if you wanted it to be a summer quilt the white might look good. And then bind it with strips of your colored fabric. Just an idea.

Black really makes the blocks "pop".

black makes it stand out more. I love black anyway when it comes to bright and light fabric.

Yup, black!

Black for sure!

I would definitely vote for the black-makes the blocks really pop!

I think black is too dramatic, I would use a solid dark grey instead; still 'pops' the colours but in a more subtle way.

If I could choose only between black and white, then I would choose white (yes, I know I'm alone... but I'm feeling brave :D)

black... :)

Black makes the colors pop and is very dramatic. White if you prefer a softer look. I like the black.

most definitely BLACK!

In this case I like the black! Really makes one focus on the colors more!

It depends on the overall look you want. The black makes the colors pop, but the white is gorgeous, just more subtle.

Black is more striking.

I'm a "black" person myself. The white just doesn't do anything for me though the fabric is nice.

I like the black. Very pretty.

Black is the color you should use

I prefer the black. It's more dramatic.

I prefer Black as well :)

i say black!!!

Those colors look great with the black!

Absolutely black, best choice ever.

I like the black

I'm voting for the black.

I agree with the consensus of black. Can't wait to see this one finished, it's going to be very striking!

Black. It makes the squares pop, on the white they just kind of disappear.

i like the black

How about putting a black thin border around each block against the white background. Just using a black or white background could kind of depend upon who the quilt is being made for.

Of your two photos I prefer the black, but a steel grey would be better yet. The grey would pull some lovely colors out of your blocks and pull the whole quilt together.

Definitely the black. It makes the colors pop!

i like them both. it just matters if you want the colors to pop or be more muted. pop go for the black more muted go white.

I like black too.....but to me the white made it look brighter 😳

My Husband also agreed plus he said that it reminded him of the Pink Floyd album cover about a zillion years ago. Enjoy and Happy New Years.

Black is the one i pick

Black and you wonderful blocks will 'pop'.

Both give a totally different look. The white gives it a softer look and the black makes it all very bright. You need to decide where you are using it and what pleases your own eyes.
